Hurt - Flowers

hey this is my second tab .
amazing band and equally amazing song .

“flowers”
by : hurt
tabbed by : dan

intro :
C G Am x2

C G Am
the children will sing ,

C G Am
a song in the streets .

Dm G
it sounds like the 23rd psalm ,

Dm G
to the music of 21 guns .

C G Am
the flowers are dead ,

C G Am
in a vase by the bed .

Dm G
the place where the old woman died ,

Dm G
is the same place she started her life .

Dm G
and papers will all say her name ,

Dm G
and probably print the wrong date .

( the rest is essentially the same chords throughout the whole song . )

the day that you die ,
cause we’re all gonna die .

cute little puppies and bunnies and birds ,
people who sing when they don’t know the words ,

you will die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
it’s just part of life .

all men , women , children , hermaphrodites too ,
animals , aliens and certainly you ,

you will die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
’cause everyone dies .

and all that was ever , and all that will be ,
single celled creatures and anything green ,
you will die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
start saying goodbye .

from the moment you start up this miserable life ,
you should know that it’s only a matter of time ,

’till you die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
start saying goodbye .

and the morons at labels who think they know tunes ,
the army of lawyers that threaten to sue ,
the hookers that blow them when i just want food ,
and the asshats that download and never buy tunes ,

you should die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
i can’t wait ’till you die .

all protestants , catholics , and orthodox jews ,
you dumb scientologists ,
and guys who bend spoons ,
and buddhists , well sort of ,
and athiests too ,
all you wackjob believers ,
nobody’s immune .

you will die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
kiss your ass goodbye!

and sarcastic song writers , guys with tattoos ,
drummers , and bassists , and engineers too ,
and every last person that sang in this room ,

they will die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
we’re all gonna die .
’cause we’re all gonna die .
we’re all gonna die .

outro :

Dm G C
and it’s just a reminder of something that’s frequently known .

well thanks guys . this song is fairly easy and fun .

we’re all gonna die . so don’t fear it , just accept it .
