Good and Ready
Anthony D'Amato

Tabbed by Sam Borchard

This is the acoustic version of the song - the Last.fm Sessions have a great recording on youtube.

He mostly plays the chords with some hammer-ons on the thirds. There's a main riff that breaks 
up the verses and is soloed over - it's a little different every time but this works well:

   C                 F     C           C                 G     C

Capo 5

 C                             F         C
Let me die in a heartbeat not slow and steady

 C                               F        C
Let me die in my sleep when I'm good and ready

 F                               G          C
Let me die on the ocean you can bury me at sea

 Am               F                         C
Let me die in a coal train you can burn my body


Let me die in the desert in a sea of sand
Let me die in the pleasure of a one night stand
Let me die in the forest with the first spring thaw
Let me die in the chorus with the Hallelujah

Chorus
  F                             G        C
Cause I don't want to wake up losing altitude

F                         G              C
I don't want to wake up whispering the blues

F                        G               C
I don't want to wake up what else can I do

Am               F                           C
I don't want to wake up if it ain't next to you

Let me die in my new suit I want to look my best
Let me die baby real soon I could use the rest
Let me die in a bar fight with a broken nose
Let me die in the spotlight you can pick my pose

Chorus

           F         C               F        C
When the trumpets sound (when the trumpets sound)

              F       C           F      C
They're gonna lay me down (gonna lay me down)

        F        C          F          C
In a long white gown (in a long white gown)
 
     C      C/B     Am G   F
And slowly lower me underground

Let me die on a Sunday for to stay out of hell
Let me die on the subway could they even tell
Let me die when the war ends you could paint my face
Let me die in New Orleans I want to march with them Saints

Chorus
I don't want to wake up if it ain't next to you
