[Verse 1]
C        C/B             C/A        C/G
If I get murdered in the city

F           G            C
Don’t go revengin' in my name

C        C/B             C/A        C/G
One person dead from such is plenty

F           G             C
No need to go get locked away

Am      G         C
When I leave your arms

Am             G         C
The things that I think of

Am         G         F  C
No need to get over alarmed

Am   G     C
I’m comin' home
[Instrumental] C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F [Verse 1]
C        C/B             C/A        C/G
I wonder which brother is better

F           G            C
Which one our parents love the most

C        C/B             C/A        C/G
I sure did get in lots of trouble

F              G            C
They seemed to let the other go

Am      G                    C
A tear fell from my father’s eyes

Am         G                 C
I wondered what my dad would say

Am        G
He said I love you

        F            C                G          C
And I’m proud of you both, in so many different ways
[Instrumental] C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F [Verse 2]
C        C/B             C/A        C/G
If I get murdered in the city

F              G            C
Go read the letter in my desk

C        C/B             C/A        C/G
Don’t bother with all my belongings

F              G            C
But pay attention to the list

Am         G                 C
Make sure my sister knows I loved her

Am         G                 C
Make sure my mother knows the same

Am       G                  F           C
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing

         C                G         C
Like the love that let us share our name

Am       G                  F           C
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing

         C                G         C
Like the love that let us share our name
