Am Em
You went gently out like a light.
Am Em
You faded and flickered without a fight.
Am D
What am I going to do, what am I going to do.
Am E Am
With a body that flickered out tonight?
Am Em
Foggy choking mist astrewn.
Am Em
Foggy boggy sleepy dew.
Am D
What am I going to do, what am I going to do.
Am E Am
With a body in this marshy soup(stew)?
Am Em
Should I hold a vigil in your name?
Am Em
Would a hail mary alert your gang?
Am D
What am I going to do, what am I going to do.
Am E Am
With a body of a rebel slain?
Am Em
You were just a boy it wasn't fair.
Am Em
But the outlaws never use no draft here.
Am D
What am I going to do, what am I going to do.
Am E Am
Did you feel pain? Did you get a prayer?
Am Em
Raise him on a pike as a sign.
Am Em
No longer a human by design.
Am D
What am I going to do, what am I going to do.
Am E Am
Sir, I feel as though we've crossed a line
(strumming to beat)
Am E Am
I should have sunk you to the murkey brine
(Stop)
Rebel pebble stumble fumble crime.
