Verse
Am G Am
Folks you'd think I'd be happy and delighted
Am G Am
Cause all my dreams are finally coming true
Am G Am
But did I mention all my dreams are nightmares
Am G Am
In my head I feel a storm about to brew
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
The clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple
Am G Am
No sunshine in my life anymore
Am G Am
The spirits are creepin' 'round every corner
Am G Am G
I'm petrified but I'm unlockin' my door
[Chorus]
Am F Am G
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
Am F Am G
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
D
These are the only words I say before I die
[Verse 3]
Am G
I want an old man priest
Am G
And a stormy day
Am G
But don't waste money on a casket
Am G
I don't deserve a grave
Am G
Just cut out my organs
Am G
Give 'em to the barely livin'
Am G
Turn my body into ashes
Am G
And pray my soul's forgiven
[Chorus]
Am F Am G
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
Am F Am G
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
D
Time is come to pay for what I've done
Am G
So goodbye
Am G
Goodbye
[Verse 4]
Am G Am
I hear the cracklin' of the thunder
Am G Am
And though my name's not on the list
Am G Am
I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua velva
Am G Am G
I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss
[Outro]
Am F Am G
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
Am F Am G
Dear mother don't cry (dear mother don't cry)
Am F Am G
Oh lo oh lo oh lo
Am F Am G
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Am F Am G
Yadda yadda yadda ah
Am F Am G
Oh no no no no
Am F Am G
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
Am F Am G
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
D
Time is come to pay for what I've done
Am G
So goodbye
Am G
Goodbye
