45 by Olenka & the Autumn Lovers
Picking: 1st string then 4th and 5th strings together, and 2nd string then 4th and
5th strings together for G, A, and Bm
2nd string then 4th and 5th strings together, and 3rd string then 4th and 5th
strings together for D
They got me on the front in 45
Cause I didn t have the strength to stay alive
No, I did the best I could
Mama, I was good and then I died
Oh Lord, in 45
They get you when you re young and ill prepared
and the beauty of the world has got you scared
Now, I don t know what s right
But I know I lost the fight and that aint fair
No Lord, that aint fair
INSTRUMETAL
(half the tempo of the other verses)
I didn t get the chance to see the end
But I heard somebody say it would be grand
With confetti in the streets
and the dancing to the beat of marching bands
Oh Lord, that d be grand
