E
If you ever hear that thunder
Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
A
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
E
Oh, and whether you're gonna get on in is up to him
E
If you ever hear that crying
In the distance like some siren
A
Maybe there's a singer with no ring
E
Around their little finger, no love
F#m
And If I lose my voice
AE
If I have no choice but to go quiet
F#mAE
Won't you sing for me a melody into the night there
F#mA
Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes
E
Fee-fi-fo-fum
F#mA
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
E
Well then, run, run, run
Free
E
If you ever hear that gunshot
You may think 'bout what you do but you don't got
AE
Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
E
If you ever hear that sound now
If the door gets kicked in here, they come now
A
Think of others, be their cover
E
I am what they're not
F#m
Pray for Paris
A
They cannot scare us
E
Or stop the music
F#m
You got a sweet voice, child
AE
Why don't you use it?
F#mAE
If I die too young, if the gunmen come, I'm full of love
F#mAE
So release me, every piece of me, up above
(Up above)
E
Love my mama and my papa
EA
Love my sister, can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
E
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
E
Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
A
I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
E
Oh, my Lord
F#mA
And if I die too young for something I ain't done
E
Carry my name every day
F#m
Oh, I'm sorry
A
Oh, I'm sorry
E
Freddie Gray
F#mAE
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
F#mAE
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
E
Oh, beautiful stranger
F#mAE
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
F#mAE
And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
F#mAE
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
F#mAE
Carry onward like some songbird, beautiful stranger
F#mAE
Carry onward like some songbird, beautiful stranger
E
Oh, beautiful stranger
