Red Hot Chili Peppers - Brendan's Death Song: chords

D     C            Am     Em              G
If I die before I get it done will you decide
 D       C                  Am    Em                 G
Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive
           D    C       Am Em             G
because a long time ago I knew not to deprive
      D         C                  Am    Em                   G
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere just like the skies
 D       C                 Am     Em                 G
You are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise
              D     C                    Am   Em                G
And when you hear this you'll know it's your jam it's your goodbye

Chorus:
 G                       Cmaj7                     Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
               G                          Cmaj7                 Em
And when the drummer drums he's going to play my song to carry me along
 G                        Cmaj7                    Em
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
              G                     Cmaj7               Em
And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

We all crossed when we were feeling lost it's just the time
Kateri cried the day her lover died she recognized
Because he gave her a life of real love it's no surprise
The nights are long but the years are short when you're alive
Way back when will never be again, it was a time
It's going to catch you so glad I met you to walk the line

Chorus - x2

 G                        Cmaj7                Em
Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries
 G                       Cmaj7                Em
Let me die so when it's time to live another son will rise
        G          Cmaj7       Em
I said Yeah  Yeah Yeah   Yeah Yeah
        G          Cmaj7       Em
I said Yeah  Yeah Yeah   Yeah Yeah
I said yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!


Chorus

Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
