E
[Verse 1]
E
If you ever hear that thunder,
E
put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
A
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
A E
Oh, and whether you're gonna get on in, is up to him
E
If you ever hear that crying
E
in the distance like some siren
A
Maybe there's a singer with no ring
E
around their little finger, no love
F#m A E
And if I lose my voice, if I have no choice but to go quiet
F#m A E
Won't you sing for me a melody into the night air
F#m A E
And if I die too young, or the wolf he comes, fee-fi-fo-fum
F#m A E
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come, well then, run, run, run, free
[Verse 2]
E
If you ever hear that gunshot,
E
you may think 'bout what you do but you don't got
A E
Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock
E
If you ever hear that sound now
E
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 A E
Pray for Paris, they cannot scare us, or stop the music
F#m A E
You got a sweet voice, child, why don't you use it?
F#m A E
If I die too young, or if the gunmen come, I'm full of love
F#m A E
So release me, every piece of me, up above, (Up above)
[Verse 3]
E
Love my mama and my papa
E A
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,
E
oh my God, oh my Lord, Oh, my Lord
F#m A E
And if I die too young for something I ain't done, carry my name every day
F#m A E
Oh, I'm sorry, Oh, I'm sorry, Freddie Gray
F#m A E
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
F#m A E
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger
E
Oh, beautiful stranger
[Instrumental]
E
[Outro]
F#m A E
If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered
F#m A E
And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger
F#m A E
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus, safe from danger
F#m A E
Carry onward like some songbird, beautiful stranger
F#m A E
Carry onward like some strong bird, beautiful stranger
E
Oh, beautiful stranger
