Verse
F#m E F#m
Folks you'd think I'd be happy and delighted
F#m E F#m
Cause all my dreams are finally coming true
F#m E F#m
But did I mention all my dreams are nightmares
F#m E F#m
In my head I feel a storm about to brew
[Verse 2]
F#m E F#m
The clouds are hovering a mean blue and purple
F#m E F#m
No sunshine in my life anymore
F#m E F#m
The spirits are creepin' 'round every corner
F#m E F#m E
I'm petrified but I'm unlockin' my door
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
F#m D F#m E
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
B
These are the only words I say before I die
[Verse 3]
F#m E
I want an old man priest
F#m E
And a stormy day
F#m E
But don't waste money on a casket
F#m E
I don't deserve a grave
F#m E
Just cut out my organs
F#m E
Give 'em to the barely livin'
F#m E
Turn my body into ashes
F#m E
And pray my soul's forgiven
[Chorus]
F#m D F#m E
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
F#m D F#m E
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
B
Time is come to pay for what I've done
F#m E
So goodbye
F#m E
Goodbye
[Verse 4]
F#m E F#m
I hear the cracklin' of the thunder
F#m E F#m
And though my name's not on the list
F#m E F#m
I'll sport a sharkskin and a splash of aqua velva
F#m E F#m E
I'll do a dance of death, give me that kiss
[Outro]
F#m D F#m E
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
F#m D F#m E
Dear mother don't cry (dear mother don't cry)
F#m D F#m E
Oh lo oh lo oh lo
F#m D F#m E
Whoa oh oh oh oh
F#m D F#m E
Yadda yadda yadda ah
F#m D F#m E
Oh no no no no
F#m D F#m E
So long cruel world (so long cruel world)
F#m D F#m E
Dear mother goodbye (dear mother goodbye)
B
Time is come to pay for what I've done
F#m E
So goodbye
F#m E
Goodbye
