Chord/Tab song: Benediction

Joshua James - Benediction


Verse 1

Busted [F]wire and the tattered t[C]ongue
Songs she [Bb]wrote but she never s[F]ung
Quiet e[F]ve of another [C]year
She'll soon f[Bb]orget

Verse 2

Her blackened [F]lungs from the cigare[C]ttes
Her mother [Bb]smoke' when her father l[F]eft
She sings a s[F]ong in this side of [C]town
To change her [Bb]mind

Chorus

And she said [Dm]I have hope for [Am]others
Father, [Bb]I have given [F]up[C]
'Cause [Dm]I have hope for o[Am]thers
Father, [Bb]I---[Bbm]I have given [F]up[Ab][Bb][Db]

[F] [Ab] [Bb]
Verse 3

Quart' to ten in the room below
Busted wares suppose they'll need to know
Close her eyes and hums a song
That made her smile

Verse 4

Grabs a note and reads aloud
"The passion new'd make a mother proud
I miss you so, it seems we all much going on"

Chorus
Cause she wrote [Dm]I have hope for [Am]others
But Mother, [Bb]I must go alone[F][C]
Yes, [Dm]I have hope for [Am]others
Mother, [Bb]I---[Bbm]I have given [F]up.[Ab][Bb][Db]
