Eb Bb He wasn't famous but I sure did love him Ab Eb I've got his picture in a little frame Eb Bb Ab Eb He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name Fm Bb But there's so many more and I've lost count Gm Cm The hows and whys aren't important now Ab Bb All that matters is they came around Ab Eb And brightened up our lives She was twenty one with her life ahead You don't need to know her name She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade But fate's right hand isn't always just Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust She was just a little girl, ain't that enough To rage against the day chorus: Ab Eb And how did we get so lucky Bb CmCm/B Targets on the rifle range Ab Eb Who makes the call and who gets to choose Bb Cm Who gets to win and who gets to lose Ab Eb It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues G Cm And blues never fade away Cm/B Ab Eb Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls G Cm But blues never fade away He shone so bright with a lust for life Like the Sun King that he was His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth And for reasons I never understood About the choices made between the bad and good I've tried to figure out why The pain never goes away (repeat chorus) G Cm And there's marble markers and little white crosses G Cm Along the beaten path Ab Eb And I've spread their ashes on the wind Bb Cm And I miss John Lennon's laugh (repeat chorus)
