Another Good Man Down

A bluesy rock sort of number ..

As the great Deptford philosopher Ron Moore once said: 'the trouble with getting old is all your friends start dying...' I know what he meant; and Andrew's death last year was the third friend to go in three years... It certainly helps to bring mortality to the fore.

ROR 08 Another Good Man Down

Am. Em
I try my best to keep my spirits high
Am Em
Despite the shit that's always flying by
Bm D
One thing that's guaranteed to make me frown
C Bm C Em
I just heard another good man's gone down

Don't talk to me about some eternal plan
That's something I will never understand
Just as the leaves in autumn turn to brown
I just heard another good man's gone down

D C G
Don't talk to me in pointless platitudes
D C
Don't search for comfort in a lie
D. C G
Each of us is just playing a waiting game
Whatever we try to do you know it all ends the same
Whether you're a pauper or you wear a crown.
I just heard another good man's gone down
