Verse 1
(G major) There's a saltwater film
on the jar of your ashes
I (E minor) threw them to sea,
but a (C major) gust blew them backward (F major) s
And the sting (D major) in my eyes,
which you then inflicted
Was (E flat major) par for the course,
just as when (D major) you were living
It's (G major) no stretch to say you were
(Dsus4) not quite (G major) a father
But a (C major) donor of seeds to
a poor single mother
That (F major) would (D major) raise us alone,
we never (Dsus4) saw (D major) the money
That (E flat major) went down your throat through the
(D major) hole in your belly

Verse 2
Thir (G major) teen years old in
the suburbs of Denver
Standing (C major) in line for Thanksgiving dinner
At the Catholic (D major) church,
the servers wore crosses
To shield (E flat major) from the sufferance (D major) plaguing
the others (G major)
Styrofoam plates, cafeteria tables
(E minor) Char (C major) ity reeks of cheap wine and pity
And I'm think (D major) ing of you,
I do every year
When we (E flat major) count all our blessings and (D major) wonder what we're doing here

Verse 3
(G major) You're a disgrace to the
concept of family
The (E minor) priest won't divulge
that (C major) fact in his homily
And I'll (D major) stand up and scream
if the mourning remain quiet
(A major) You (E flat major) can deck out a lie in a suit, (D major)
but I won't buy it
I won't (G major) join in the procession
that's speaking their piece
Using five- (E minor) dollar words word (G major) s
(C major) while praising his integrity
And (D major) just 'cause he's gone,
it doesn't change (G major) the (D major) fact
He was (A major) a (E flat major) bastard in life, thus, a (D major) bastard in death,
