[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]

[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]

[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
