Brendans Death Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
D   | C  | Am7 | Em | G | D | C 
Am7 | Em | G   

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D    C            Am7    Em
If I die before I get it done
               G
Will you decide
D       C                   Am7  Em
Take my words and turn them into sounds
                 G
That will survive
          D    C
Because a long time ago
Am7 Em                 G
I   knew not to deprive

[Verse 2]
---------------------
     D        C                    Am7       Em
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere
              G
Just like the sky
    D       C                 Am7         Em
And you are love, you are the love supreme
            G
You are the rise
             D    C                   Am7  Em
And when you hear this, you know it's your jam
It's your goodbye
G

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song
         Em
To carry me along
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the boatman comes
         C
To ferry me away
            Em
To where we all belong

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D      C                    Am7     Em
We all crossed when we were feeling lost
              G
It's just the time
D      C                 Am7   Em
Kateri cried the day her lover died
              G
She recognized
            D    C             Am7  Em
Because you gave her a life of real love
                G
It's no surprise

[Verse 4]
---------------------
    D           C             Am7       Em
The night's are long, but the years are short
                 G
When you're alive
D        C                Am7     Em
Way back when we'll never be again
         G
It was a time
           D     C             Am7 Em
It's gonna catch you so glad I met you
          G
To walk a line

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song
         Em
To carry me along
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the boatman comes
         C
To ferry me away
            Em
To where we all belong
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song
         Em
To carry me along
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the boatman comes
         C
To ferry me away
            Em
To where we all belong
G                        C
Let me live so when it's time to die
         Em
Even the reaper cries
G                       C
Let me die so when it's time to live
        Em
Another sun will rise
       G
I said yeah

             G
And when the drummer drums
           C
He's gonna play my song
         Em
To carry me along
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
             Em
You know I'm almost gone
             G
And when the boatman comes
         C
To ferry me away
            Em
To where we all belong
G                        C
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
