Topic: Jamie's Victory Song

Jamie's Victory Song by Zen Galileo 2011


key of C, very slow 4/4




Intro: C / walk down from C to Am (Cmaj9) throughout/ Am / walk down from Am to F (Am w/ G bass) throughout / F / G /G7 (repeat)






Well I have [C]been in chains[Cmaj9], [Am]chains for a [G bass]long, long [F]time [G]


And I have [C]bore them long[Cmaj9], so [Am]long,


and [G bass]now I'm [F]weary of life [G]


[F]I thought a lot a [G]bout it, now I'm [C]sure that I'm [Cmaj9]gonna [Am]do it


[G bass] So when I [F]get a chance,


[G]I'm gonna kill myself[C] [Cmaj9] [Am] [G bass] [F] [G] [G7]


Now I [C]know that you're[Cmaj9] gonna [Am]try and [G bass]talk me [F]out of it [G]


And as a [C]friend[Cmaj9], it's the [Am]least I'd ex[G bass]pect from [F]you [G]


[F]But I made up my mind [G], I guess


I'm[C] just not[Cmaj9] the [Am]earthbound kind [G bass]


And when I [F]get a chance, [G]I'm gonna kill my [C]self


[F]Now don't get me [G]wrong, it's not a [C]bout you


[F]And it don't [G]mean that I don't [C]love you


[F]You've been the best kind of [G]friend, but [C]every road[Cmaj9]


has its [Am]end


[G bass]And when I [F]get my chance, [G]I'm gonna call it quits[C]


[Cmaj9] [Am] [G bass] [F] [G] [G7]


And I've [C]thought a lot[Cmaj9] a [Am]bout [G bass]how I'll do [F] it [G]


And I [C]promise[Cmaj9] I won't [Am]make a mess for [F]you [G]


[F] But pills ain't [G]sure enough, and a [C]gun that just


[Cmaj9]ain't my [Am]style


So next [F]time I'm alone, [G]I'm gonna hang myself[C]


Now I have [F] been in pain, [G]pain for a long, long [C]time


And I have [F] been in hell, and [G]sometimes you could


[C]see it [Cmaj9]in my [Am]eyes


[G] [F] I pray the Lord will under [G]stand,


I'm not a [C]coward [Cmaj9]or a [Am]thankless man[G bass]


It's just [F]all spelled out, [G]I'm gonna kill myself[C][Cmaj9]


[Am] [G bass]It's just [F]plain as day, [G]I'm gonna walk away[C]


[Cmaj9]Where this world[Am] won't find[G bass] me a [F]gain


It's O [G]K, just let me [C]slip away [Cmaj9]


[Am] My [G bass]friend it's too [F]late,



[G]There's nothing you could [C]say [Cmaj9] [Am] [G bass]


I'm not [F]sick or crazy,just[G]no more [G7]game to play


I'm not [C]faithless or [Cmaj9]lazy,


[Am]but say that [G bass]prayer for me[C] [Cmaj9]


I'm at [G bass]peace with it [F]now For the [C]first time


[Cmaj9]in the [Am]longest time[G bass] I'm at [F]peace, [G]I'm at peace


[C] [Cmaj9] [Am]


[G bass]Only God[F] can judge me now[G], I'm at peace [C] [Cmaj9] [Am]


I'm [G bass]in His arms[F] some how[G] I'm at peace[C] [Cmaj9] [Am] [G bass]


[F] I'm goin up [G] that dusty road[C] [Cmaj9] [Am] [G bass]


[F] to the [G]arms of my father.


[C] To the [Cmaj9]open [Am]arms of my father


And my father he's been waitin a long time for me






He's been lookin out at the horizon




And while I'm yet a long way off




he's gonna come running out to greet me




And fall on my neck weeping






And he'll bring with him the robe of a son




the crown of a Prince in His Kingdom




And my mother she'll be waiting on the balcony,




blowing a kiss to me saying, "Welcome home son"






And my bnrothers and sisters will all be there linin the walk to my palace




MMmmm It's a victory, for me, can't you see?




It's a victory I'm comin home




I'm comin home, I'm comin home.

Re: Jamie's Victory Song

I'm working on doing some youtube videos. But for now I think just to sit with the words of this song is powerful. Wrought from real pain.
