Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song has a capo on the third fret. In order to keep things easy, I will name the
as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called
minor.
There are a few things to remember for playing this song.
First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above
ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g.
Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add
and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the
c add nine isn't played the usual way. You don't add your fourth finger to any string
instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like this

Amin Cadd9 (walkdown) Amin
Amin
She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
Dmin
She thought she would
Amin
Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
Dmin
She thought she had the moon
Amin
In her pocket
Fmaj
But now she's dead
Amin Fmaj
She's so dead
Cadd9(walkdown) Amin
Forever dead and lovely now
Dmin Bmaj Dmin
I've always been told to
Bmaj
Remember this...
Amin Fmaj B7sus4
Don't let a fool kiss you
Emaj
Never marry for love
Amin
He was hard to impress
Dmin
He knew everyone's secrets
Amin
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
Dmin
He kept her on a leash
He's not the kind of wheel
Amin
You fall asleep at
Fmaj
But now she's dead
Amin Fmaj
Forever dead
Amin Cadd9(Walkdown) Amin
Forever dead and lovely now
Dmin Bmaj Dmin
Come closer, look deeper
Bmaj
You've fallen fast
Amin Fmaj
Just like a plane on a
B7sus4 Emaj
Stormy sea
Amin
She made up someone to be
Dmin
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
Amin
World where that's no
Problem at all
Everything that is left
Dmin
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Amin
Will be gone
Fmaj
And now she's dead
Amin
Forever dead

Everything has its price
Dmin
Everything has its place
What's more romantic
Amin
Then dying in the moonlight?
Now they're all watching the sea
Dmin
What's lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
Amin
But they were so shallow
Fmaj
And now she's dead

Forever dead
