This was tabbed off of a live Dec 2005 recording,
and so may be different from the album version.
(Playing the G like this: ([] indicating fingering)
3 2 0 0 0 3
[3][2] [4]
allows you to hammer on your index finger on the first
fret of the b string, something he does often during the song:
3 2 0 0 1 3
[3][2] [1][4])
(* = X43X2x)
Intro:
My eyes are dried my hands are tied
There's nothing I can say
If you feel the need to go
I wont stand in your way
I'll sit and cry, say goodbye
Sing this sad sad song
And you can bring me flowers when I'm dead and gone
You can bring me flowers when I'm dead, dead and gone
Well fate has played his hand so cruel
There's nothing I can do
Say you lost your faith in me
me my trust in you
I'll sit and think, drown and drink
Sing this sad sad song
And you can bring me flowers when I'm dead, dead and gone
And you can bring me flowers when I'm dead, dead and gone
When I'm dead and gone
The pain won't linger on
It'll settle in my bones, stab my mind?
When I'm dead and gone
There'll be no one to curse me
*
To hurt me like you've done a thousand times
Now when you're lying in his arms
Think of me and know
The choice you made ain't feelin clearer
It cost me a heavy toll
I'll sit and cry, say goodbye
Sing this sad sad song
You can bring me flowers when I'm dead, dead and gone
And you can bring me flowers
You can bring me flowers
You can bring me flowers
When I'm dead and gone
