The Untimely Death Of Brad by Five Iron Frenzy
Tabbed/Chorded by Joseph Visaggi
[Intro]
Bm F# Bm G F# Em Bm Em F#
Bm F# Bm G F# Em Bm Em F#
[Verse]
Bm A
Here is the tale. It's spoken word for word.
Em G F#
It may be abominable, but, yes, it must be heard
Bm A
Nauseating at first. You can expect the worst.
Em G F#
So listen closely as the plot unfolds
[Pre-chorus]
G Bm G F#
I might stretch the truth. Maybe a little lie.
G Bm A
There was a boy named Brad. He played trumpet and he died.
G Bm G F#
Too young for him to cease. Why? We haven't got a clue.
G Bm A
It's on the Internet, so then it must be true.
[Chorus]
D Em Bm A G Bm A
The untimely death of Brad. How sad it must have been.
D Em Bm A G Bm A F#
If you see him any - where. Remember to console h - im.
[Verse]
Bm A
I curse the day I ever met the boy.
Em G F#
Only the good die young, they say.
Bm A
The details of his death are vague. Unbelievable it seems
Em G F#
as if his passing was only a dream.
[Pre-chorus]
G Bm G F#
Catastrophe, calamity,
G Bm A
What will we tell his mother now?
G Bm G F#
Cataclysmic, a tragic mishap,
G Bm A F#
I just heard that their band is breaking up.
[Interlude]
Bm F# Bm G F# Em Bm Em F#
Bm F# Bm G F# Em Bm Em F#
[Pre-chorus]
G Bm G F#
I hear his trumpet, his voice rings in my ears,
G Bm A
It sometimes seems he's standing very near.
G Bm G F#
I don't believe in ghosts. I've never seen one,
G Bm A
but isn't the trumpet playing haunting on this album?
[Chorus]
D Em Bm A G Bm A
The untimely death of Brad. How sad it must have been.
D Em Bm A G Bm A F#
If you see him any - where. Remember to console h - im.
[Outro]
C G A
A day that lives in infamy.
C G A
In horror we behold:
C G
His passing,
D A
his memory,
C F# B
but the truth must be told.
