Capo 7th fret
Standard (EADGBE)

Intro
(hammer-on on the D-string) G (hammer-on on the A-string) x 2
Papa died smiling
Wide as the ring of a bell
Gone all star white
Small as a wish in a well
And Sodom, South Georgia
Woke like a tree full of bees
Buried in Christmas
[G/f#] (pull-off, hammer-on on -string then -string)
Bows and a blanket of weeds
[G/f#] (pull-off hammer-on on -string then -string)
Papa died Sunday and I understood
[G/f#]
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"
(during humming part alternate between C and G) D11
Papa died while my
Girl Lady Edith was born
Both heads fell like
Eyes on a crack in the door
And Sodom, South Georgia
Slept on an acre of bones
Slept through Christmas
[G/f#] (pull-off hammer-on on -string then -string)
Slept like a bucket of snow
[G/f#]
Papa died Sunday and I understood
[G/f#]
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"
(alternate between and ; end on )
