How did Camus really die that night?
                                                E               Am
Were they right? When he died was it really his time, or was it suicide?
Am
And Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine
                                      E                           Am
We go drinking from time to time, and I find it gets harder every time.

Three went down (But only two of them come up again)
Am                          E
The minimal is criminal but less is a sin
Am                           E
Though three went down (only two of them come up again)
        F                                        E
I’m not gonna play if there ain’t no way I’ll win

Hemingway never seemed to mind the banality of a normal life,
    E                           Am
And I find it gets harder every time.

So he aimed the shotgun into the blue, placed his face in between the two,
    E                 Am
And sighed: Here’s to Life!

Hey there Salinger, what did you do?
G                       Am
Just when the world was looking at you
         Am                  C
To write anything that meant anything,
    G                Am
You told us you were through
Am                            C
And it’s been years since you passed away,
      G                    Am
But I see no plaque, and I see no grave
    Am           C             G              Am
And I can’t help believing you wanted it that way
Am                        C
And Vincent Van Gogh, why do you weep?
         G                             Am
You were on your way to heaven but the road was steep
    Am               C
And who was there to break your fall?
      G               Am
We’re guilty, one and all
      Am                     C
And I don’t know much, but I do know this:
       G                    Am
With a golden heart comes a rebel fist
    Am           C              G
And every single soldier wasn’t fired;
Some have quit
F    C    G   Am   F    C    E

And it makes me sick when I think of it: All my heroes could not live with this
      E                                   Am
And I hope you rest in peace because with us you never did
    Am
And K.D.C., you were much too young and you changed my life but I draw the line
   E                     Am
At suicide, so here’s to life
Am     E      Am    E
