A Note That Read Bert Sommer
INTRO: E F#m7 E F#m7 E A E A
VERSE:
[E] You could hear him sc[A]reaming
As he l[E]ooked beyond the d[A]oor
His [E]only son was l[A]ying
In a h[E]eap upon the fl[A]oor
And f[E]rom his wrists that [A]opened wide
His l[E]ife has flowed from d[A]eep ins[E]iiiii[A]de
CHORUS:
[D] And in his h[G]and a n[C]ote that r[G]eeee[C]ead
It's b[G]etter [C] if I'm d[G]ead[C]
'Cause [Em]his whole life was [Em7]bad,
All the t[G]imes we n[D]ever [Em]had
I c[F]an't say it's been [Bb]nice because it w[Eb]asn't[D]
And, m[G]ama, please f[D]orgive me if I m[Em]essed the rug
But y[C]ou can have it cl[D]eaned tom[G]orrow
[D]Oh, and y[G]ou'll find some exc[D]use
To tell y[Em]our garden c[Em7]lub
I'm s[C]ure they'll all expr[D]ess their s[G]orrow[G] [F]
VERSE:
[E] You could see them [F#m]running
As they tr[E]ied to get some [F#m]help
Yeah, the ne[E]ighboors all were p[A]ourin' in
To s[E]ay how bad they f[A]elt
How c[E]ould this happen [A]in our town
I h[E]ope it doesn't g[A]et aro[E]und[A]
CHORUS:
[D] And in his h[G]and a n[C]ote that r[G]eeeee[C]ead
It's b[G]etter [C] if I'm d[G]ead[C]
'Cause [Em]his whole life was [Em7]bad,
All the t[G]imes we n[D]ever [Em]had
I c[F]an't say it's been [Bb]nice because it w[Eb]asn't[D]
And, d[G]addy, even t[D]his can have a g[Em]ood side
'Cause h[C]ere's your chance for c[D]utting all my h[G]air off[D]
Oh, and f[G]rom today I'll n[D]ever let you d[Em]own again[Em7]
'Cause n[C]ow your biggest p[D]roblem is t[G]aken care of
