The Ballad Of James Howlett Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Been[F] lon[Am]g,
long time since 1882
[F]I'm [Am]not sure how many more moons
I [F]can take[E]
Won't you put me [Am]in the grave?
[F]In [Am]the Alberta pines, I had [F]a home
[Am]Found my bones and killed a rose,
I [F]have [E]hurt
When will it be my [F]turn? [E]Mm, mm
There's [C]something to

[Verse 2]
be said
[G]about a quick [Am]death
No time to [E]wonder [F]why
[C]Wring out every breath,
[G]don't fear the reaper
[Am]Know there's an [E]end in [F]sight
Pity the [E]man [G]who [Am]can n[E]ever d[Am]ie

[Verse 3]
[Am]In my chest is cold, cold steel
The scars I've left,
they don't quite heal like [E]mine
But they're with [Am]me all the time
Cut your own teeth and
move a bridge
It's not for trying that I'm living [E]still
But they have lacked [F]the will,
[E]mm, mm
There's [C]something to

[Verse 4]
be [G]said
about a quick death
[Am]No time to [E]wonder [F]why
[C]Wring out every [G]breath,
don't fear the [Am]reaper
Know there's an [E]end in [F]sight
Pity a [E]man who can never
[Am]die

[Outro 1]
