Intro: F#m A F#m A Bm A
F#mA
Someone got shot dead 'round here.
F#mABmD
People left flowers by the Ribena stains on the pavement.
F#mDADm
Friends, neighbours, strangers.
F#mAF#m
A million blooms, one day dusty, the next wet and ragged.
ABmD
So, guess what? I took them all home with me
F#mDABmD
in a wheelbarrow and filled the bathroom from floor to ceiling, and listen,
F#mA
there was no devine damnation
F#mA
no cosmic retribution.
BmDF#m
Once the petals wilted, I pressed them all flat in the largest book I've got.
DABmDF#mF#m
On wet days, the ghost sits in the kitchen leafing through it.
BmAF#m
He's not grey or wraith-like,
BAF#mF#m
but bright and solid,
BmAF#m
like a new bike.
DABmDF#m
Looks at the faded colours and plays the radio too loud,
DABmD
and makes a damn mess of fag butts and tea leaves.
Outro: F#m D A Bm D x 3
