Pedro The Lion - Priests And Paramedics

standard tuning; capo on 2nd fret . this is a modified version of the chords that can be
found here :
i found out some of the missing chords that he labeled 1 and 2 , then put them here .

verse 1 :

C Am
paramedics brave and strong
Dm C G
up before the break of dawn
C Am
putting poker faces on
Dm C G
broken bodies all day long
F Am
the neighbors heard the fight
F Am
someone had a knife
F C Am – – – – – Em
it must have been the wiiiiiife
Am C F
husband’s lost a lot of blood
Dm C G
he wakes up screaming oh my god

C Am
Am i gonna die , Am i gonna die?
Dm C G
as they strapped his arms down to the sides
C Am
times like these they’ve been taught to lie
Dm C G
buddy just calm down you’ll be alright

verse 2

C Am
several friends came to his grave
Dm C G
his children were so well behaved
C Am
as the priest got up to speak
Dm C G
the assembly craved relief
C Am
but he himself had given up
Dm C G
so instead he offered them this bitter cup

C
you’re gonna die
Am
we’re all gonna die
Dm C
could be twenty years
G
could be tonight
C Am
lately i have been wondering why
Dm C
we go to so much trouble
Dm Am
to postpone the unavoidable
Dm C G
and prolong the pain of being alive
