I'm So Sorry, Tony Tabulatur von Nofx (für Baryton)

[Verse 1]
 
A           C#                   D           A
I've never known a better writer or a better guy
F#m                       E               D                 A
His songs wouldn't just touch you, they'd punch you in the eye
 D                           A                             C#                   F#m
It doesn't happen a lot, but everybody says the same that he wasn't supposed to die
Bm                  D
So let's clink our beers
                Dm
And give three cheers
        A
To Tony Sly 
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                              C#
I never heard a bad word about him
        D               A
I never heard a bad melody
        F#m      E             D                A
His dying isn't tragic: it’s a fucking catastrophe
       D                                E
 I've lost my parents, and so many friends
    C#          F#m
I take it "c'est la vie"
     Bm           D          Dm      A
 It's nothing like losing my friend Tony 
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A               C#              D               A
Sometimes on weekends when our kids'd hang out together
 F#m          E              D              A
Keira tells Darla that her dad's songs are better
         D
And I think she's sad   
E                             C#
cause tomorrow she hopes her dad
          F#m
 is coming home 
Bm              D               Dm
Cuz he told her that three years ago on the phone 
 
 
[Bridge 1]
 
F#m                     F#m/F
Tony, you make me see myself
F#m/E           Bm
 In a way I don't wanna see
F#m        F#m/F   F#m/E        Bm
Do I have to stop living so recklessly?
D
So I can be the father, I know I can be 
 
 
[Bridge 2]
 
F#m Bm E A G# (x2)
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
A               C#
All the endless nights we had
D            A
20 years of laughs
F#m                E          D     A
I've looked, but I can't find any photographs
D                      E
Of us because it's weird to take 
C#              F#m
Photos with your best friends 
Bm                  D
Cause you don't think
          Dm            A
 That you never see them again 
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
A                       C#
I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you
D                          A
When you needed me in the end
 F#m                 E
I was there to give you eulogy
D                            A
But not when you needed a friend 
D                               E                         C#            F#m
And when they lowered your body into the ground even the piper began to cry
 Bm
From coast to coast
D                       Dm
Let's raise our drinks and give a toast
A
 To Tony Sly

We're No Use For a Name.. Bye Bye.
