verse 1
G F C*
Summer day we're on our way feeling good together beautiful Chris
Am D ( e|-3-2-0-2-| )
Just me and my friends having fun, enjoying the sun
G F C*
We are colours we're red and white as my teenage skin was tanned
You were my father's fifth child
Am D
and your look was vintage and wild but now you're stuck in the sand
[Refrão] G/E G/F# G G/F# Em
'Cause it only took a couple of minutes and all the fish had a new home
C D G G/B G
and I was feeling so alone as I called my daddy on the phone
G/E G/F# G G/F# Em
Oh though it only took a couple of days and I could look into my father's eyes again
C D G G/E G/F#
I got this feeling of shame in my head, this fact remains: Chris is dead
verse 2
G F
Well, anyway I was surfing on my board behind the boat
C C/B
when I heard a big crash and suddenly rocks and stones appeared from the water
Am
and I was thinking "What are they doing here?"
D ( e|-3-2-0-2-| ) G/E G/F#
They're not supposed to be here. This can't be real.
G F
And then my sister started screaming
C
Oh my God we're taking in water I've got water up to my knees
C/B Am
and then she picked up the sailor phone and she, she dialed 911
D
'cause she was in a shock and I was too, you know. I didn't know what to do
[Refrão] G/E G/F# G G/F# Em
'Cause it only took a couple of minutes and all the fish had a new home
C D G G/B G
and I was feeling so alone as I called my daddy on the phone
G/E G/F# G G/F# Em
Oh though it only took a couple of days and I could look into my father's eyes again
C D G
I got this feeling of shame in my head, this fact remains: Chris is dead
G/F# Em
Oh, Chris is dead
G/F# G
But look, you've got a new song
G/F# Em
Yeah, but Chris is dead
G/F# G
But hey, you've got this new song
D
And the song, it wouldn't been made up
C
if I wouldn't have sinked that ship in the ocean
Am G G/F#
So when everything comes around I guess things are fine
Em G G/F#
I tell you, things are fine
Em G G/F# Em
Yeah, things are fine, wohoo
Outro
G G G/F# Em
