Give Em Hell
View chords used in this chart
B
Wonder what you'd say if you were here
G#m
Maybe just some harsh and biting joke
E
Uttered with a love meant to inspire
F#
A self-reflecting glance into the soul
B
I know that I could count upon a welcome
G#m
But what exactly would you say to me
E
If you knew that I was having trouble coping
F#
With questions your departure seems to leave
E F#
Well I think I might know what you'd wanna say
B
Give em hell for me
E G#m E
Dry your stupid eyes, you big baby
B
You'd say give em hell for me
G#m F# E
And don't you ever take it too seriously
B
Lucky to have come to know you
G#m
As much as it pains me to say
E
It's still too unbelievable to fathom
F#
We won't get at least another day
B
Plenty of us left to rally for you
G#m
We plan to play for Harper June in June
E
And as befitting any tribute
F#
You'd probably be slightly unamused
B
Give em hell for me
E G#m E
Dry your stupid eyes, you big baby
B
You'd say give em hell for me
G#m F# E
And don't you ever take it too seriously
E B
Out on that Mystery Road
E G#m F# E
We'll burn it down until the morning
E G#m
And we'll never hear you say
F# E
Not even once, that you were wrong
B
So we'll give em hell for you
E G#m E
And we'll dry our cryin' eyes
B
And we'll try not to be such a dummy
E B
And we'll give em hell
E B
Oh we'll give em hell
