The Fools

Life Sucks Then You Die

The Fools


Tom: Ebm

Bb C F C F

[Verse]
   F
My house burned down in a flash of thunder
   C
My wife ran off with a one-legged plumber
   Bb                                     F
My crops fell dead when the riverbed went dry
   F
My dog got squashed by a pickup truck
   C
My son ran away and got hooked on drugs
   Bb
My daughter's knocked up by the class of '85


[Chorus]
Bb
People say that life is good
   F
It don't seem good to me
    C
I'm lost without a paddle
        F
And I'm headed up sh*t creek
Bb
People say that life is fun
F
But I don't know why
   C
As far as I can tell
                    F
Life sucks then you die


[Verse 2]
    F#
The government dumps its toxic waste
C#
Right on top of my mother's grave
  B                                      F#
A team of experts say it won't do her no harm
       F#
But my sheep went crazy and killed my mule
  C#
I cut off my d*ck with a power tool
B                                        F#
Fixin' the hole where the meteor hit the barn. And it hurt, too!


[Chorus]
B
People say that life is good
    F#
But I just piss and moan
      C#
I got one foot on a banana peel
    F#
The other in the Twilight Zone
B
People say that life is fun
F#
But I don't know why
   C
As far as I can tell
                    F#
Life sucks then you die.

G
Let me hear some yeehah's out there!


[Verse 3]
G
I went to the store to buy some shells
   D
My gun went off and blew the owner to h*ll
C                                          G
Now I'm sittin' here in jail, singin' this song
    G
And one guy wants to cut me with a knife
D
Another guy wants me to be his wife
C
I wish they'd hang me before somethin' really goes wrong!


[Chorus]
C
People say that life is good
     G
Give thanks for what you have
     D
When all you have is nothin'
G
Nothin' makes you glad
C
People say that life is fun
G
But I don't know why
   D
As far as I can tell
                     G
Life sucks, then you die


[Ending]
        C
I said, people say that life is fun
G
But I don't know why
   D
As far as I can tell

Life sucks!

Life sucks!
                     G   D   G
Life sucks, then you die.       Let me hear some yeehah's out there!
