Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(hammer-on on the D-string) G (hammer-on on the A-string) x 2

Papa died smiling

Wide as the ring of a bell

Gone all star white

Small as a wish in a well

And Sodom, South Georgia

Woke like a tree full of bees

Buried in Christmas

[G/f#] (pull-off, hammer-on on -string then -string)

Bows and a blanket of weeds

[G/f#] (pull-off hammer-on on -string then -string)

Papa died Sunday and I understood

[G/f#]

All dead white boys say, "God is good"

White tongues hang out, "God is good"

(during humming part alternate between C and G) D11

Papa died while my

Girl Lady Edith was born

Both heads fell like

Eyes on a crack in the door

And Sodom, South Georgia

Slept on an acre of bones

Slept through Christmas

[G/f#] (pull-off hammer-on on -string then -string)

Slept like a bucket of snow

[G/f#]

Papa died Sunday and I understood

[G/f#]

All dead white boys say, "God is good"

White tongues hang out, "God is good"
