I'm So Sorry Tony

Intro: Am Em F C Dm C G G# verse 1 A C# D A I've never known a better writer or a better guy F#m E D A His songs wouldn't just touch you, they'd punch you in the eye D A C# F#m It doesn't happen a lot, but everybody says the same that he wasn't supposed to die Bm D So let's clink our beers Dm And give three cheers A To Tony Sly verse 2 A C# I never heard a bad word about him D A I never heard a bad melody F#m E D A His dying isn't tragic: it’s a fucking catastrophe D E I've lost my parents, and so many friends C# F#m I take it "c'est la vie" Bm D Dm A It's nothing like losing my friend Tony verse 3 A C# D A Sometimes on weekends when our kids'd hang out together F#m E D A Keira tells Darla that her dad's songs are better D And I think she's sad E C# cause tomorrow she hopes her dad F#m is coming home Bm D Dm Cuz he told her that three years ago on the phone Bridge 1 F#m F#m/F Tony, you make me see myself F#m/E Bm In a way I don't wanna see F#m F#m/F F#m/E Bm Do I have to stop living so recklessly?
