He plays the entire thing with bar chords, so B on 7th and F# on 2th. E is
played as an ordinary E.
Lyrics are also not 100% correct because there weren't any online so I had to
listen by ear.
Intro:
B
B E B
Young James McGill was born alive
B E F#
The doctors rescuing him with knives
B E B
But his young mother went and died,
E B E B
James he cried, his first goodbye
E B E F#
James he cried, Hello Goodbye
E B F# B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo
B E B
A doctor came with a blue zeal
B E F#
then diagnosed the boy surreal
B E B
They sealed him in a room of steel
E B E B
To seal the world, to heal the boy
E B E F#
He would no longer have to feel
E B F# B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo
B E B
So built a fortress in his manger
B E F#
So made a sun made out of paper
E B E B
So forged a friend of wind and vapor
E B E F#
Oh come on James for godness sake, oh
E B F# B E B F# B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo-oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo
E B F# B
From a spark to a flame to a fire in the rain
E B F# B
To a smolder in sky that brings tear to your eyes
E B F# B
That will stream to the sea, that will burn in the light
E B F# B
That will lift to the clouds what will rain when you die
E B F# B
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadada Ladadada
E B F# B
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadada Ladadada
B
Then one day,
B
Then one day,
B E B
Then one day old James he died
B E F#
His cold heart still his body's white
