Chords

The song itself sounds like it was played with a ukulele, so the chords may not be completely accurate. If you strum only the bottom three strings, it should sound good enough to sound like the song. If you prefer, I think doing the C#m chord will be more comfortable like this, since it's so high up on the fretboard: ___________ | | | | | | 4th fret | | | | | 1 | | | | 2 | | | | 3 | | | | | | | | I'm not that good at marking the strum pattern, but it should be something like this: Just the beginning of the song:
    Em        C        Em         G
----↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--↑↓↑--
The rest of the song:
  Em         C        Em         G

Justified Black Eye (A Tribute to Tony Sly) - Simple Plan Em C Em G Em C Em G
Em               C        Em           G
She was confused and abused in this life

Em            C
Emotional and violent moments

Em                  G
Seemed to take the longest time

Em                C             Em                G
Every single knockout, drag-out fight they ever had

Em                  C
He starts to laugh, he starts to lie

Em                   G
With suddenly psychotic eyes

C#m                   G                 Em                  Em
Every night she cried herself to sleep, she didn't recognize

C#m                 G                    Em                 Em
Her own face in the mirror black and blue

C#m           G          Em                         Em
So afraid, intimidation, like a child she hides away

C#m                     G                         Em        Em
He would always try to justify - what wasn't true

C     Em     G
O-oh

Em        C       Em      G
Justified black eye

Em         C           Em            G
Taken for granted, she sleeps by the phone

Em                      C
Waiting for a call from him

Em                             G
But it seems he's never comin' home

Em        C             Em               G
14 beers later, he is there without an answer

Em               C
Once again, she questions his lies

Em                   G
He goes to bed with no reply

C#m                          G
Tomorrow morning, different story

Em                       Em
And he'll be a different guy

C#m               G                      Em         Em
He'll justify her black eye with another lie

C#m           G                        Em                  Em
She packs her bags in great temptation, he's on his knees again he cries

C#m              G
A hug-and-a-kiss and I don't know why

Em                       Em
As a tear drops from her swollen eye

Em
Apologies until tonight and, then another - justified black eye

Em     C     C#m   G
O-oh

Em        C     C#m   G
Justified black eye

Em        C     C#m   G
Justified black eye
(Either C#m or G works fine by my ear, I couldn't figure out which one it was at the end.)
