INTRO G / D / Em / D / C x2
VERSE
You dreamed he'd s[G]hine like the sun
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lucky_boys_confusion/mr_wilmington_crd.html )
Now you son is set
He[D]y dad, grab another cigarette
[Em]Ashes fall like an u[D]npaid debt
Com[C]e on everybody place your bets
In seve[G]nth grade he dug his grave
Tr[D]ying to be cool with the cool kids hey
[Em] Follow every[D]thing they say
You mi[C]ght fit in if you misbehave
At [G]sixteen he promised he'd be clean
You [D]didn't bend, but you sure did lean
[Em] You [D]do not deserve[C] this
CHORUS
[G]Hey Mr. Wilmington
[D]Yeah, I heard about your son
[Em]It's hard enough to [D]hide your scars
[C]In smalltown USA
[G]Sweet Mr. Wilmington
[D]Yeah I read about your son
Don't[Em] blame yourself, you r[D]aised him right
[C]Remember that when you can't sleep at night
VERSE 2 (same as verse 1)
At twenty-one you found his gun
Hey dad, it's just begun
The ties that bind, they come undone
Come on everybody, just for fun
At twenty-four you found him on the floor
Decadence was all he wore
You do not deserve this
CHORUS
D Em C x4
Na na na na na
VERSE 3
At the funeral, read his eulogy
Insincere apologies
You do not deserve this
All the papers and press decide
Hey, just another suicide
You do not deserve this
CHORUS
If you play your D chord like this the song sounds much much better! enjoy :)
