The Ballad Of Hamantha chords

[VERSE 1]

[Bb] [Am] [Gm] [F] (2x)

[Bb]Life's ex[Cm]tension l[Am]ottery
[Gm]Kind to some, but not [F]to thee
[Bb]Born with a [C]rare and sad [Am]disease
She grew [Gm]a ham where her head [C]should [F]be

[PRE-CHORUS]
[Bb]Flowing hair, she was a [Am]cutie pie
Mea[Gm]ty face and a lov[F]ely eye
Her [Bb]dream was to be a [Am]famous star
But at the [Gm]rate she was going, she wasn't [F]going far

[CHORUS]
[Bb]Hamantha, Ha[Am]mantha
You were i[Gm]mpossible to ignore [F]
H[Bb]amantha, Ha[Am]mantha
So [Gm]greedy we wanted more [F]

[VERSE 2]

[Bb] [Am] [Gm] [F] (2x)

[Bb]Her father was a [Dm]simple [Am]man [C]
[Gm]He wanted to help
"In any way [F]that I can!"
[Bbm]Home from school, [Cm]he watched his daughter cry[Fm]
In the [G]yard, he cursed God
And fired [F]at the sky

[PRE-CHORUS]
[Bb]Flowing hair, she was a [Am]cutie pie
Me[Gm]aty face and a lov[F]ely eye
[Bb]Dreams in the sky, her father [Am]felt her pain
Gm f
And as he shot at the clouds, it began to rain

[CHORUS]
Ha[Bb]mantha, Ha[Am]mantha
[Cm]You were i[Gm]mpossible to ignore [F]
H[Bb]amantha, Ha[Am]mantha
So [Gm]greedy we wanted more[F]

[BRIDGE]
[Bb]Got a call from the [Am]doctor
He had [Gm]some amazing news [F]for her
He [Bb]just developed a cur[Am]e
I[Gm7]f she hurried over now, he'd try it out [Gm]on [F]her

[Bb]Burst out the door, she was bea[Am]ming
A[Gm]mong the raindrops her happy tears were [F]streaming
[Bb]Finally free from her pa[Am]in
But [Gm]something else fell with the [F]rain

A [Bb]stray bullet shot by her fa[Am]ther
[Gm]Painlessly nested i[F]nside her
She [Bb]fell to the the sidewalk, now em[Am]pty
Of the [Gm]life which once christ[F]ened her body

[INTERLUDE]

[Bb] [Am] [Gm] [F]

[F]"Nurse
[F]She... she's gone."
[F]"Oh - oh dear."
[F]"I left a lunch on the table in the operating room for the bereaved
[F]A cooked ham, as is customary for these... dark situations."
[F]"Doctor - what - which one is the - which one is the ham?"
[F]"I - I must go, I'm on break."
[F]"Oh dear." [Bb]

[PRE-CHORUS]
Flowing hair, she was a [Am]cutie pie
Me[Gm]aty face and a l[F]ovely eye
At her [Bb]time of death
The doc said [Am]"time to eat!"
So [Gm]he took a bite out of her [F]face meat

[CHORUS]
Ha[Bb]mantha, H[Am]amantha
[Cm]You were i[Gm]mpossible to ignore [F]
Ha[Bb]mantha, Ha[Am]mantha
So [Gm]greedy we wanted more[F]

[POST-CHORUS]
[Bb]Soaring infinitely through [F]space[Am]
H[Gm]amantha's soul was [F]graced
[Bb]With a glance of our [Am]humble planet
A[Gm]t which she was amazed [F]

The [Bb]news of her [Am]untimely death
Had [Gm]spread out near and fa[F]r
And [Bb]through her soul, the [Am]truth was whole
The [Gm]dream had crossed the ba[F]r

H[Gm]amantha had become a star[F]
H[Gm]amantha was finally a [F]star
H[Gm]amantha had become a star[F]
H[Bb]amantha was fina[C]lly a [F]star
