The Art Of Suicide Uke tab by Emilie Autumn (Baritone Chords)

Intro:

  C      Am      Em      Dm   G7  (x 2)


C              Am
  The art of suicide
                  Em
  Nightgowns and hair
                Dm          G7
  Curls flying every which where
C               Am 
  The pain too pure to hide
              Em
  Bridges of Sighs
              Dm            G7
  Meant to conceal lover's lies
Em           Am
  Under the arches
                   Em
  Of moonlight and sky
            Am
  Suddenly easy
                 Em
  To contemplate why
       E7
  Why...


  Chorus: 

  Am         Dm
  Why live a life
G                      C
  That's painted with pity
        E7          Am
  And sadness and strife
               Dm
  Why dream a dream
G                       C
  That's tainted with trouble
       E7           Am
  And less than it seems
                Dm
  Why bother bothering
G             C
  Just for a poem
       E7         Am
  Or another sad song to sing
              Dm
  Why live a life
              G
  Why live a life


  C      Am      Em      Dm   G7


C              Am
  The art of suicide
              Em
  Pretty and clean
              Dm        G7
  Conveys a theatrical scene
C             Am    
  "Alas, I'm gone!" she cried
            Em
  Ankles displayed
          Dm        G7
  Melodramatically laid
Em           Am 
  Under the arches
                   Em
  Of moonlight and sky
            Am
  Suddenly easy
                 Em
  To contemplate why
        E7
  Why...


  Chorus:

  Am          Dm
  Why live a life
G                      C
  That's painted with pity
        E7          Am 
  And sadness and strife
               Dm
  Why dream a dream
G                       C
  That's tainted with trouble
       E7           Am
  And less than it seems
                Dm
  Why bother bothering
G             C          
  Just for a poem
       E7         Am
  Or another sad song to sing
              Dm
  Why live a life
              G
  Why live a life


  Em     Am    (x 7)   Em     E7

  
  Chorus:

              Dm
  Why live a life
G                      C
  That's painted with pity
        E7          Am 
  And sadness and strife
               Dm
  Why dream a dream
G                       C
  That's tainted with trouble
       E7           Am
  And less than it seems
                Dm
  Why bother bothering
G             C          
  Just for a poem
       E7         Am
  Or another sad song to sing
              Dm
  Why live a life
G             C    E7                  
  Why live a life
Am            Dm              
  Why live a life
              G
  Why live a life


  C      Am      Em      Dm   G7    (x 2)


C         Am               Em
  Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                 Dm
  With a second ending
            G7           C
  When the people are disturbed
             Am             
  Well they should be disturbed
Em                   Dm
  Because there's a story
       G7            C
  That ought to be heard
          Am                Em
  Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                  Dm
  With a second ending
            G7           C
  When the people are disturbed
              Am
  Well they should be disturbed
Em                   Dm
  Because there's a lesson
      G7       C                   Am      Em       Dm   G7    
  That really ought to be learned

C                       Am
  The world is full of poets
            Em           Dm  G7
  We don't need any more
C                        Am
  The world is full of singers
            Em           Dm  G7
  We don't need any more
C                        Am
  The world is full of lovers
            Em          Dm  G7      C       Am       Em      Dm  G7  
  We don't need any more... 


  C       Am       Em       Dm   G7   C
