Tom: Am
Am G Am Em Am
Did you know when they told you the passion was gone
Am G Am Em Am
did you show them the way rock and roll should be born
Am G Am Em Am
did you leave us with nothing but one single tune
Am G Am Em Am
I don't mind that you're gone, but it happened so soon
[Chorus]
G Am G Am
The spirit smelled good but the purpose was pain
G Am Em Am
the walk in the wood became a walk in the rain
G Am G Am
Were you here to be Jesus, whom did you entertain
G Am Em Am
and would you care to explain who killed Kurt Cobain?
[Verse 2]
Am G Am Em Am
Did you see who was there when you turned on the light
Am G Am Em Am
was it a fan or a neighbour that shot you that night
Am G Am Em Am
who held the barrel and who loaded the gun
Am G Am Em Am
was it me, was it you, who the hell was the one
[Chorus]
G Am G Am
The spirit smelled good but the purpose was pain
G Am Em Am
the walk in the wood became a walk in the rain
G Am G Am
Were you here to be Jesus, whom did you entertain
G Am Em Am
and would you care to explain who killed Kurt Cobain?
[Bridge]
F G A
Was it drugs, was it horror, was it sheer loneliness
F F A
was it money or sex, were you tired of being famous
F G Am F
were you scarred by the limelight, hurt by the sun
G
as it shone on the needle when the day's work was done
[verse 3]
Am G Am Em Am
Could it be that we've waited for 30 odd years
Am G Am Em
for a man like John Lennon, just to lose him like this
Am G Am Em Am
true wisdom is rare, so few heroes around
Am G Am Em Am
And I'm so tired of waiting with my feet on the ground
[Chorus]
G Am G Am
The spirit smelled good but the purpose was pain
G Am Em Am
the walk in the wood became a walk in the rain
G Am G Am
Were you here to be Jesus, whom did you entertain
G Am Em Am
and would you care to explain who killed Kurt Cobain?
