My Orphan Year NOFX
This is a depressing, yet great song. really fun to sing and play.
I didn't see a correct tab anywhere, so here it is.
I was nice enough to include the exact times when the parts come in too.
INTRO:
(00:18)
[F#m] [D#5] [D]
(00:31)
[A] [F#m] [D] [A]
(00:50)
[A]My father had dementia
[C#m]He lied in bed for months
[F#m]Once in a while he'd call me
And ask [Dm]me to fly down
[Bm]I told him that I'd love to
But I [D]had things to do
And so he died with[A]out his son[A/Ab] [F#m]
I [Bm]heard about it drunk after a show[D]
(1:14)
[A]My mother battled cancer
[C#m]For over seven years
[F#m]I nursed her and I held her
When time [Dm]was running out
The nig[Bm]ht before she left me
I drank scotch[D] all night
And thanked her for everything she'd [A]done[A/Ab] [F#m]
[Bm]Raising me alone wasn't much fun[D]
(1:37)
[A]So Dad I can forgive you,
But I'l[E]l never forget,
[Bm]Months I wouldn't see you and when I did You'd be [D]
[A]out with your friends all night
[E]Alone and only nine
I [Bm]watched the outer limits
While scare[D]d out of my mind
[A]I wonder if you felt the same
The days before you died[A/Ab]
[F#m]I wonder if you even knew
Why I wouldn't come around
[Bm]I bet if you had been there,
There wouldn't be this song
[A]2006 [A/Ab]
[F#m]goodbye parents
For once sincere[D]
2006 my orphan year[A]
(2:32)
