Death Of An Unpopular Poet Acoustic аккорды

			[Intro]
   D      D/C#   G/B   D     G G/F# Em  A  D   (2x)
 
 
[Verse 1]
   D      D/C#   G/B   D     G      G/B       A
   I once knew a poet, who lived before his time
   D       D/C#    G/B     D    G                A Asus4 A
   He and his dog Spooner, who listened while he rhymed
   Bm               F#m    G        G/F#     C   C/B A Asus4 A
   Words to make ya happy, words to make you cry
   D        D/C#    G/B   D  G    A     D  Dsus4 D
   Then one day the poet suddenly did die
 
 
[Verse 2]
   D      D/C#   G/B   D     G      G/B       A
   But he left behind a closet, filled with verse and rhyme
   D       D/C#    G/B     D    G                A Asus4 A
   Through some strange transaction one was printed in the Times
   Bm               F#m    G        G/F#     C   C/B A Asus4 A
   And everybody searchin for the king of underground
   D         D/C#    G/B       D               G         A     D  Dsus4 D
   Well they found him down in Florida, with a tombstone for a crown
 
 
[Bridge]
   G   G/F#      A
   And everybody knows the lines
   G       G/F#             A
   From his book that costs $4.99
   G     G/F#          A
   And I wonder if he knows he's doin
   G     A     D
   Quite this fine
 
 
[Verse 3]
   D         D/C#   G/B    D             G              G/B       A
   Cause his books are all best sellers, his poems were turned to songs
   D       D/C#    G/B     D    G                A Asus4 A
   Had his brother on a talk show, though they never got along
   Bm               F#m    G        G/F#     C   C/B A Asus4 A
   And now he's called immortal, yes he's even taught in school
   D        D/C#    G/B   D  G    A     D  Dsus4 D
   They say he used his talent, a most proficient tool
 
 
[Verse 4]
   D       D/C#    G/B    D             G      G/B       A
   But he left all of his royalties, to Spooner his old hound
   D       D/C#    G/B     D           G                  A Asus4 A
   Growin old on steak and bacon, in a dog house 10 feet 'round
   Bm            F#m              G    G/F#      C   C/B A Asus4 A
   And everybody wonders, did he really lose his mind
   D       D/C# G/B  D        G      A         D  Dsus4 D
   No, he was just a poet who lived before his time.
   D      D/C#   G/B   D  G G/F# Em    A   D
   He was just a poet who lived before his time.
