[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


[Chorus]

          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                                   
Oh though it only took a couple of days and I could look into my 
            G/F# Em
father's eyes again
                      C                      D                      
I got this feeling of shame in my head, this fact remains: Chris is 
G      G/E  G/F#
dead


[Verse 2]

G                                  F
  Well, anyway I was surfing on my board behind the boat

            C                                                       
when I heard a big crash and suddenly rocks and stones appeared from 
    C/B
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


[Chorus]

          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                                   
Oh though it only took a couple of days and I could look into my 
            G/F# Em
father's eyes again
                      C                      D                      
I got this feeling of shame in my head, this fact remains: Chris is 
G
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
