Verse 1
(A minor) He (G major) wasn't (C major) famous but
I sure did love (G major) him
I've got his (F major) picture in a little frame (C major)
He lost his life to a big dis (G major) ease
before it (F major) even had (C major) a name
But there's so (D minor) many more
and I've (G major) lost count
The hows (E minor) and whys aren't
import (A minor) ant now
All that mat (D major) ters is they came around
(G major) And brightened up our lives
(C major)
Verse 2
She was twenty one with her life (G major) ahead
You don't (F major) need to know her name (C major)
She breathed her last on the cold stone
floor (G major) of a (F major) Hollywood arcade (C major)
But fate's (D minor) right hand isn't al (G major) ways just
Puts a lot (E minor) of pressure on
your faith (A minor) and trust
She was (D major) just a little girl ain't that enough
(G major) To rage against the day
(C major)

Verse 3
And (F major) how did we get so luck (C major) y?
(G major) Targets on the rifle range (A minor)
(F major) Who makes the call and
(C major) who gets to choose?
(G major) Who gets to win and who (A minor) gets to lose?
It's like a rolling (F major) dice in
the belly (C major) of the blues
And (E major) blues never fade away (A minor)
Hey, hey, (C major) hey,
the (F major) colors run when the rain (C major) falls
But blues (E major) never fade away
(A minor)
Verse 4
He shone so (G major) bright (C major) with a lust for life (G major)
Like the Sun (F major) King that he was (C major)
His passions hung upon his walls (G major)
and were printed (F major) onto cloth (C major)
And for reasons (D minor) I never (G major) understood
About the choices (E minor) made between
the bad (A minor) and good
I've tried to (D major) figure out but
The pain (G major) never goes away
(C major) (F major) (C major)
Verse 5
And (F major) how did we get so luck (C major) y?
Tar (G major) gets on the rifle range (A minor)
(F major) Who makes the call and
(C major) who gets to choose?
(G major) Who gets to win and who (A minor) gets to lose?
It's like a rolling (F major) dice in
the belly (C major) of the blues
And (E major) blues never fade away (A minor)
Hey, hey, hey,
the col (F major) ors run when the rain (C major) falls
But blues (E major) never fade away
(A minor)
Verse 6
And there's (E major) marble markers
and (A minor) little white crosses
Along (E major) the beaten path (A minor)
And (F major) I've spread their ashes on (C major) the wind
And I mis (G major) s John Lennon's laugh
(A minor)
Verse 7
And (F major) how did we get so luck (C major) y?
(G major) Targets on the rifle range (A minor)
(F major) Who makes the call and
(C major) who gets to choose?
(G major) Who gets to win and who (A minor) gets to lose?
Verse 8

(G major) Targets on the rifle range (A minor)
Who (F major) makes the call and

It's like a (F major) rolling dice in
the belly (C major) of the blues
And (E major) blues never fade away (A minor)
Hey, hey, hey, (C major)
all the col (F major) ors run when the rain (C major) falls
