Murdered 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".

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!

Standard Tuning, Capo 3rd

not sure what this chord is, so I will call it E2 as it is based on an E minor
chord but with the E on the D string removed and with a C on the B string.

E2 - 0 2 0 0 1 0

Intro

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C

Verse 1

C E2 Am G
If I get murdered in the city,
F G C
don't go revengin' in my name.
C E2 Am 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 F C
No need to get over-alarmed
Am G C
I'm coming home.

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C

But integrate into your picking this pattern something like this:

C E2 Am G
I wonder which brother is better
F G C
Which one our parents love the most.
C E2 Am G
I sure did get in lots of trouble,
F G C
they seem 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
but i'm proud of you both,
Am G C
In so many different ways.

Again:

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C

C E2 Am G
If I get murdered in the city,
F G C
go read the letter in my desk.
C E2 Am G
Don't bother with all my belongings,
F G C
but pay attention to my list.
Am G C
Make sure my sister knows I love her,
Am G C
make sure my mother knows the same
Am G F C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Am G C
like the love that let us share our name.
Am G F C
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Am G C
like the love that let us share our name.

Finish on:

C, E2, Am, G, F, G, C
