My Orphan Year

this is a depressing , yet great song . really fun to sing and play . i didn’t see a correct tab anywhere , so here it is . i was nice enough to include the exact times when the parts come in too . Intro : ( 00 : 18 ) F#m D#5 D ( 00 : 31 ) A F#m D A ( 00 : 50 ) A my father had dementia C#m he lied in bed for months F#m once in a while he’d call me Dm and ask me to fly down Bm i told him that i’d love to D but i had things to do A A/G# F#m and so he died without his son Bm D i heard about it drunk after a show ( 1 : 14 ) A my mother battled cancer C#m for over seven years F#m i nursed her and i held her Dm when time was running out Bm the night before she left me D i drank scotch all night A A/G# F#m and thanked her for everything she’d done Bm D raising me alone wasn’t much fun ( 1 : 37 ) A so dad i can forgive you , E but i’ll never forget , Bm D months i wouldn’t see you and when i did you’d be A out with your friends all night E alone and only nine Bm i watched the outer limits D while scared out of my mind A i wonder if you felt the same A/G# the days before you died F#m i wonder if you even knew why i wouldn’t come around Bm i bet if you had been there , there wouldn’t be this song A A/G# 2006 F#m goodbye parents D for once sincere A 2006 my orphan year ( 2 : 32 ) repeat Intro so yeah thats about it .
