Chords
since peter deleted his youtube video for this song, leaving me in shambles,
I don't remember where the capo was and this is all based on my memory of the song.
I'm also a beginner so I may have changed some of the chords for simplicity when I first transcribed it,
it's memorized now though so I have no idea what I changed.
I usually play it w the capo at fret 2 or 3 but that's just me
here are notes that i couldn't find the names for, the top row is what i am calling them:
A B e|--------1--| B|---1-------| G|-----------| D|-----------| A|---2----2--| E|---3----3--| this will be played at the beginning of every stanza e|--------| B|--------| G|--------| D|--------| A|----2---| E|--3-----| C A F C i'll consider you my priest, i'll confess to you my sins Am E F C sorry father, i'm not sure where i should begin Am E F C i've begged and cheated, drank, and beaten devils deep within Am Dm B but i suppose we oughta start with who is dead C A F C there's a young man in the wall, but i've covered up the hole Am E F C he looks a lot like me, but he's never growing old Am E F C i tucked him there when i awoke, you're the first i've ever told Am Dm B well i saved that lousy kid from getting killed C A F C see, a painter's never worth a dime before he's underground Am E F C and this kid was the best on every side of town Am E F C honest, to the point, with his own special sound Am Dm B well the demons, they were coming for him C A F C well he painted what he saw in his brain late at night Am E F C staring out the window to the moths in yellow light Am E F C he painted what the girls said in their sorry tattered tights Am Dm B yes he painted till his hands surely bled C A F C he drew out every government in a single crooked stroke Am E F C when he stepped back to look at it, his paintbrushes all broke Am E F C they quieted his realizations, lit em up in smoke Am Dm B they're nothing but ordinary kids C A F C he illustrated love by a skeleton pair Am E F C two little lovers locked in love's eternal stare Am E F C with rings on their fingers, but their body's dead and bare Am Dm B "till death do we part", not a chance C A F C his final work of art was when he sat and painted life Am E F C as complex as anything, as simple as contrite Am E F C written on a canvas were two words: hello, goodbye Am Dm B is there really any more to this whole deal? C A F C by then the demons came they were knocking at his door Am E F C i've memorized their names, it was Drugs, Sex, and War Am E F C i opened up the walls and sealed them in forevermore Am Dm B then i shook their hands and led them to my room! C A F C so thank you now for listening, hail mary full grace Am E F C i tucked him far away, and i stand here in his place Am E F C i'll sing you songs, but more importantly, show you what he paints Am Dm B yes he's painted every one of you today Am E F C thank you now, i'll go in peace to love and serve the lord Am E F C just remember all i've said after this final chord Am E F C no one in this whole damn world, no one can afford Am Dm Am the pricelessness of ignorance and youth Am F C oh, the pricelessness of ignorance and youth
