The Art Of Suicide Ukulele Chords

  
  Intro:

  F      Gm      Am      Gm   C7  (x 2)


F              Gm
  The art of suicide
                  Am
  Nightgowns and hair
                Gm          C7
  Curls flying every which where
F               Gm 
  The pain too pure to hide
              Am
  Bridges of Sighs
              Gm            C7
  Meant to conceal lover's lies
Am           Gm
  Under the arches
                   Am
  Of moonlight and sky
            Gm
  Suddenly easy
                 Am
  To contemplate why
       A7
  Why...


  Chorus: 

  Gm         Gm
  Why live a life
C                      F
  That's painted with pity
        A7          Gm
  And sadness and strife
               Gm
  Why dream a dream
C                       F
  That's tainted with trouble
       A7           Gm
  And less than it seems
                Gm
  Why bother bothering
C             F
  Just for a poem
       A7         Gm
  Or another sad song to sing
              Gm
  Why live a life
              C
  Why live a life


  F      Gm      Am      Gm   C7


F              Gm
  The art of suicide
              Am
  Pretty and clean
              Gm        C7
  Conveys a theatrical scene
F             Gm    
  "Alas, I'm gone!" she cried
            Am
  Ankles displayed
          Gm        C7
  Melodramatically laid
Am           Gm 
  Under the arches
                   Am
  Of moonlight and sky
            Gm
  Suddenly easy
                 Am
  To contemplate why
        A7
  Why...


  Chorus:

  Gm          Gm
  Why live a life
C                      F
  That's painted with pity
        A7          Gm 
  And sadness and strife
               Gm
  Why dream a dream
C                       F
  That's tainted with trouble
       A7           Gm
  And less than it seems
                Gm
  Why bother bothering
C             F          
  Just for a poem
       A7         Gm
  Or another sad song to sing
              Gm
  Why live a life
              C
  Why live a life


  Am     Gm    (x 7)   Am     A7

  Why live a life
Gm            Gm              
  Why live a life
              C
  Why live a life


  F      Gm      Am      Gm   C7    (x 2)


F         Gm               Am
  Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                 Gm
  With a second ending
            C7           F
  When the people are disturbed
             Gm             
  Well they should be disturbed
Am                   Gm
  Because there's a story
       C7            F
  That ought to be heard
          Gm                Am
  Life is not like Gloomy Sunday
                  Gm
  With a second ending
            C7           F
  When the people are disturbed
              Gm
  Well they should be disturbed
Am                   Gm
  Because there's a lesson
      C7       F                   Gm      Am       Gm   C7    
  That really ought to be learned

F                       Gm
  The world is full of poets
            Am           Gm  C7
  We don't need any more
F                        Gm
  The world is full of singers
            Am           Gm  C7
  We don't need any more
F                        Gm
  The world is full of lovers
            Am          Gm  C7      F       Gm       Am      Gm  C7  
  We don't need any more...
