Biography:
Battleme is the inner psyche and stage moniker of songwriter Matt Drenik. He is also a contributing member to LA's The Forest Rangers featuring Katey Sagal and Bob Thiele.
On his debut EP, the predominately lo-fi folk record Big Score, Drenik played, recorded and produced everything on his own. The record's success allowed him to share the stage with the likes of Joe Ely and Joe Pug as a solo artist, in addition to having songs included on FX's Sons of Anarchy and NBC's Chuck.

Dead Man by Battleme
Capo 5TH fret
The F chord is actually an F major 7 (the major 7 is the E note - 7th note in the F Major scale)
with a flat 5th (C is the 5th note in the F major scale but this has been flattened to a B
which doesn't naturally occur in this scale)
so this is called Fmaj7b5 which sounds like a
nightmare but is easier than a normal F chord!
Fmaj7b5:
e|--0--
B|--0--
G|--2--
D|--3--
A|--3--
E|--1--
It's mainly strumming but listen to the recording for the notes that are picked
out on the up strokes of each chord
- the notes are already under your fingers when you play each chord.
[Verse 1]
C G C
Have you ever seen a dead man die?
F C G
And walk across this street of mine
C G C
And have you ever seen a young kid high?
F C G
Praying on his soul to fly
[Chorus]
Am G
But I wait for you here
C F
I'm never gonna find the key
C G F
I'm praying baby you don’t see me
G C
Out here
[Verse 2]
C G C
Have you ever lost me inside
F C G
Where my air go? I miss the sky
C G C
Have you ever seen a dead man die
F C G
Lost you once when I said goodbye
[Chorus]
Am G
But I wait for you here
C F
I'm never gonna find the key
C G F
I'm praying baby you don’t see me
G C
Out here
