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".

You can play C7maj(no5) two different ways. I like the first one.

The song:
C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7
If I get murdered in the city
Am/E C
don't go revenging in my name.
C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7
One person dead from such is plenty
Am/E C Am
No need to go get locked away.

G C Am
When I leave your arms;
G C Am
the things that I think of...
G Fmaj7 C
No need to get over alarmed.
Am G C
I'm coming home!

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7
I wonder which brother is better
Am/E C
which one our parents loved the most
C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7
I sure did get in lots of trouble
Am/E C Am
They seemed to let the other go

G C Am
A tear fell from my fathers eye
G C Am
I wondered what my dad would say
G Fmaj7 C
He'd say I love you and I'm proud of you both
Am G C
In so many different ways

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7
If I get murdered in the city
Am/E C
Go read the letter in my desk
C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7
Don't bother with all my belongings
Am/E C Am
But pay attention to the list

G C Am
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
G C Am
Make sure my mother knows the same

G Fmaj7 C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
G C Am
like the love that let us share our name
G Fmaj7 C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
G C
like the love that let us share our name

C C7maj(no5) C/E Am/E Fmaj7 Am/E x2
