Ballad Of The Dying Man Cifras

[Verse 1]
 
C/G                      E             F
Naturally, the dying man wonders to himself
C/G                              E            F
His commentary'd been more lucid than anybody else's
Em                                             C/G
And had he successfully beaten back the rising tide
           Am
Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools
                    E       F
On his watch, while he was alive?
C/G          E           Am
Lord, just a little more time
 
[Chorus]
C/G
Oh, in no time at all
               F  E    G
This'll be the distant past
G     F
Ooooooh
 
[Verse 2]
 
C/G                     E               F
So says the dying man, "Once I'm in the bo
C/G                             E              F
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok"
Em                                                    C/G
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
                Am
The homophobes, hipsters, and one-percent
                         E            F
The false feminists he'd managed to detect
C/G          E                       Am
Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
 
[Chorus]
 
C/G
Oh, in no time at all
               F  E    G
This'll be the distant past
G     F
Ooooooh
 
[Bridge]
 
What he'd give for one more day to rate, and analyze
                      G            C/G       F
The world made in his image, as of yet to realize
       Am      F       G
What a mess to leave behind
 
[Verse 3]
 
C/G                       E               F
Eventually, the dying man takes his final breath
C/G                                   E                  F
But, first checks his newsfeed to see what he's 'bout to miss
Em                                    C/G
It occurs to him a little late in the game
            Am
We leave as clueless as we came
                            E              F
From rented heavens, to the shadows in the cave
C/G          E         Am
We'll all be wrong someday
