This is a depressing, yet great song. really fun to sing and play.
I didn't see a correct tab anywhere, so here it is.
I was nice enough to include the exact times when the parts come in too.
INTRO:
(00:18)
F#m D#5 D
(00:31)
A F#m D A
(00:50)
A
My father had dementia
C#m
He lied in bed for months
F#m
Once in a while he'd call me
Dm
And ask me to fly down
Bm
I told him that I'd love to
D
But I had things to do
A A/Ab F#m
And so he died without his son
Bm D
I heard about it drunk after a show
(1:14)
A
My mother battled cancer
C#m
For over seven years
F#m
I nursed her and I held her
Dm
When time was running out
Bm
The night before she left me
D
I drank scotch all night
A A/Ab F#m
And thanked her for everything she'd done
Bm D
Raising me alone wasn't much fun
(1:37)
A
So Dad I can forgive you,
E
But I'll never forget,
Bm D
Months I wouldn't see you and when I did You'd be
A
out with your friends all night
E
Alone and only nine
Bm
I watched the outer limits
D
While scared out of my mind
A
I wonder if you felt the same
A/Ab
The days before you died
F#m
I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
Bm
I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song
A A/Ab
2006
F#m
goodbye parents
D
For once sincere
A
2006 my orphan year
(2:32)
