Murder In The City

Biography:

The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".

[Verse 1]

C C/B C/A C/G
If I get murdered in the city
F G C
Don’t go revengin' in my name
C C/B C/A C/G
One person dead from such is plenty
F G C
No need to go get locked away

Am G C
When I leave your arms
Am G C
The things that I think of
Am G C
No need to get over alarmed
Am G C
I’m comin' home

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]

C C/B C/A C/G
I wonder which brother is better
F G C
Which one our parents love the most
C C/B C/A C/G
I sure did get in lots of trouble
F G C
They seemed to let the other go

Am G C
A tear fell from my father’s eyes
Am G C
I wondered what my dad would say
Am G
He said I love you
F C G C
And I’m proud of you both, in so many different ways

[Verse 2]

C C/B C/A C/G
If I get murdered in the city
F G C
Go read the letter in my desk
C C/B C/A C/G
Don’t bother with all my belongings
F G C
But pay attention to the list

Am G C
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Am G C
Make sure my mother knows the same
Am G F C
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
C G C
Like the love that let us share our name
Am G F C
Always remember, there was nothing worth sharing
C G C
Like the love that let us share our name
