He c[G]ounted long, he counted loud, he w[G7]aited for the [G7/B]shock,
He f[C]elt the wind, he felt the cold, he [G]felt the awful d[D7]rop,

And he [Am]ain't gonna [D4]jump[D] no [G]more.

[VERSE 4]
The r[G]isers swung around his neck, conn[G7]ectors cracked his [G7/B]dome,
Susp[C]ension lines were tied in knots a[G]round his skinny [D7]bones;

[VERSE 5]
The d[G]ays he'd lived and loved and laughed kept [G7]running through his[G7/B] mind,

[VERSE 6]
The [G]ambulance was on the spot, the j[G7]eeps were running[G7/B] wild,
The m[C]edics jumped and screamed with glee, they [G]rolled their sleeves and [D7]smiled,
