Intro

(hammer-on on the D-string) G (hammer-on on the A-string) x 2

 Papa died smiling

 Wide as the ring of a bell

 Gone all star white

 Small as a wish in a well

 And Sodom, South Georgia

 Woke like a tree full of bees

 Buried in Christmas

  [G/f#] (pull-off, hammer-on on -string then -string)

Bows and a blanket of weeds

  [G/f#] (pull-off hammer-on on -string then -string)

Papa died Sunday and I understood

  [G/f#]

All dead white boys say, "God is good"

 White tongues hang out, "God is good"

(during humming part alternate between C and G) D11

 Papa died while my

 Girl Lady Edith was born

 Both heads fell like

 Eyes on a crack in the door

 And Sodom, South Georgia

 Slept on an acre of bones

 Slept through Christmas

  [G/f#] (pull-off hammer-on on -string then -string)

Slept like a bucket of snow

  [G/f#]

Papa died Sunday and I understood

 [G/f#]

All dead white boys say, "God is good"

 White tongues hang out, "God is good"

 (alternate between and ; end on )
