The Ballad Of J Smith

Em             C
He watched the shadows
       D             G
On the walls of his room
        Em           C          D
                                 (use your pinkie to tap on the third fret of first string)
And the silence will speak too soon
    Em          C
And he held her tightly
   D              G
So tight he could tell
Em          C          D
He knew the feeling so well


Em                            C
He said "Pretty baby will you marry me?"
G                                 B7
She said "You'd look shit upon my family tree"
    Em                           C                 G           B7
And that's when he realised he'd have to start again


Em                                    C
And just when you think you've got it figured out
G                                   B7
They light seven candles and you're blowing them out
Em                                    C                 G              B7
You know that you're going to have to light them all again



Em      C           D          G
You see her turning night into day
        Em         C        D
And the broken television display
   Em            C
And I know you're hurting
   D              G
But tonight I can pray
Em                C             D
Cos you've got to think for yourself

D             G
Lie down everyone
           B7                    Em
Close your eyes and look for the sun
     D                          G
Even they don't know where it's gone
    Em         C             D              G
Reminiscing of days when you knew that you belong


Em                            C
He said "Pretty baby will you marry me?"
G                                 B7
She said "You'd look shit upon my family tree"
    Em                           C                 G           B7
And that's when he realised he'd have to start again


Em                                    C
And just when you think you've got it figured out
G                                   B7
They light seven candles and you're blowing them out
Em                                    C                 G              B7
You know that you're going to have to light them all again
