True story of my dismissal after 20 years (exactly, though they didn't know it) from the big firm.
lyrics
IDES OF APRIL
A-Em-Dsus4–A pattern over:
They terminated me on the ides of April
Patty read the paper -- she was barely able
It made her look better than she ever did
G A
But with guy from HR right there, I kept my feelings hid
A -Em-Dsus4 –A pattern again:
I took the envelope and weaved out the door
Twenty years to the day It shook my shrinking core
G A
Almost as if I didn’t know it myself 19 years before
(chorus)
D A
Ask not for whom The bell tolls
D A
At five and at 9
Bm G
It tolls for all mankind
A-Em-Dsus4 –A pattern again:
I met the welcoming committee at a bar downtown
They said you haven’t died brother don’t you look so down
G A
I drank at two hundred miles per hour for nine innings straight
G A
I didn’t sleep for another week my wife and kids quiet as Saints
D A
Ask not for whom The bell tolls
D A
At five and at 9
Bm G
It tolls for all mankind
A
I got thrown out of my world
G
into the world
D
And the world said
you ain’t ready yet
come back when you’re feelin it
A
Read a little history, get sober on the misery,
D
Christ, you’re such a spoiled kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid
A – Em – D – A (2x)
D A
Ask not for whom The bell tolls
D A
At five and at 9
Bm G
It tolls for all mankind
A Em Dsus4 A
I was born on the ides of April
My eyes unopened but the body ......able
