Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 1 half step down [ -1 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 1 to stay in the same key

THE SONG

Verse 1:
Eb
Hey there, Father
Eb
I don’t wanna bother you
Eb
But I’ve got a sin to confess
Eb
I’m just 16 if you know what I mean
Eb
Do you mind if I take off my dress?
F
Don’t know where to start
F
Let me get to the good parts
F
Might wanna cross up your legs
Eb
I’ve got envy, I’ve got greed, anything that you need
Eb
And I’m not above having to beg


B               Gb    Bbm         Ebm
There was this boy who tore my heart in two
B         Gb      Bb                 Eb
I had to lay him eight feet underground

Chorus:
Eb      Db  Ab               B
All I need is someone to save me
      Eb     Db     Ab     B
Cause I am goin’ down
Eb           Db  Ab               B
And what I need is someone to save me
      Eb     Db      B
Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down

Verse 2:
Eb
Well, hey there, Father#
Eb
There is just one other thing
Eb
I have a simple request
Eb
I hear you know God could you give him a nod in my direction
Eb
I would be in your debt
F
Perhaps there is something that we could work out
F
I noticed your breathing is starting to change
Eb
We could go in the back behind all these stacks of bibles
Eb
And get out of this cage


B               Gb    Bbm         Ebm
There was this boy who tore my heart in two
B         Gb      Bb                 Eb
I had to lay him eight feet underground

Chorus:
Eb      Db  Ab               B
All I need is someone to save me
      Eb     Db     Ab     B
Cause I am goin’ down
Eb           Db  Ab               B
And what I need is someone to save me
      Eb     Db      B
Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down


Abm
I didn’t wanna do it, Father
                              Eb
But I caught him with another woman in the bed I made him
Eb
So I put him in a grave
     Abm
And now there’s no one left around to get me off
                   Eb
When I want it to drag
Abm
The next day on the television they identified him
        Eb
By the cirxxxsicion that I made and now I’m on the run
              Gm
But wait, why did I have to go and kill him
Gm                           Cm
When he was the best I’d ever had

Chorus:
Eb      Db  Ab               B
All I need is someone to save me
      Eb     Db     Ab     B
Cause I am goin’ down
Eb           Db  Ab               B
And what I need is someone to save me
      Eb     Db      B
Cause I am goin’ down, all the way down


Eb
I’m goin’ down
Eb
All the way down
