If I Ever Leave This World Alive Tab

by Flogging Molly


Song:   If I Ever Leave This World Alive
Artist: Flogging Molly
Album:  Drunken Lullabies
Track:  4

This is one of my favorite songs by F.M. so I decided to pick up my
guitar and figure it out.


Anytime when playing a "D" chord in this song, alternate it every
few strums (listen to the song to get the exact rythm) by lifting the index finger 
off the string and strumming. The new chord will look like this:

(XX0032)



Intro: 

                                 
If I ever leave this world alive, 
                                 
I'll thank ya' for things you did in my life.

If I ever leave this world alive,
                                      
I'll come back down and sit beside your feet tonight.
           
Wherever I am, you'll always be.
                             
More than just a memory.
                           
If I ever leave this world alive.


If I ever leave this world alive,
                                    
I'll take on all the sadness, that I left behind.

If I ever leave this world alive,
                              
The madness that you feel will soon subside.
            
So in a word, don't shed a tear.
                            
I'll be here when it all gets weird.
                                  
If I ever leave this world alive.

Bridge: Guitar 1 (Acoustic) strums chords above.
        Guitar 2 (Electric) plays the tab.

      Just before you go insane

                       
If I ever leave this world
                      
Hey, I may never leave this world
                                   
But if I ever leave this world alive...she says
     
I'm okay, I'm alright
                           
Though you have gone from my life
                 
You said that it would,
               
Now everything should,
          
Be alright
              
She says, I'm okay!

I'm alright!
                           
Though you have gone from my life.
                 
You said that it would,
               
Now everything should,
          
Be alright.
                 
Yeah, should be alright.
