This song has a capo on the third fret. In order to keep things easy, I will name the
as if the capo is the nut of the neck. ex)what is considered c minor will now be called
minor.
There are a few things to remember for playing this song.
First)There is an alternating bass line between the root of a chord and the string above
ex)for a c chord alternate the lowest c note with a g.
Second)There is a walkdown at the end of the intro and chorus that starts with a c add
and walks the c note down to a b then the chord changes to an a minor. The catch is the
c add nine isn t played the usual way. You don t add your fourth finger to any string
instead take off the finger you have on the d string. Making the walkdown look like this

d-0--0--2----------------------|
a-3--2--0----------------------|

(walkdown)
She was a middle class girl
She was in over her head
She thought she would
Stand up in the deep end
He had a bullet proof smile
He had money to burn
She thought she had the moon
In her pocket
But now she s dead
She s so dead
(walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now
I ve always been told to
Remember this...
Don t let a fool kiss you
Never marry for love
He was hard to impress
He knew everyone s secrets
He wore her on his arm
Just like jewelry
He never gave but he got
He kept her on a leash
He s not the kind of wheel
You fall asleep at
But now she s dead
Forever dead
(Walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now
Come closer, look deeper
You ve fallen fast
Just like a plane on a
Stormy sea
She made up someone to be
She made up somewhere to be from
This is one business in the
World where that s no
Problem at all
Everything that is left
They will only plow under
Soon every one you know
Will be gone
And now she s dead
Forever dead
(walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now
Now she s dead
Forever dead
(walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now
I ve always been told to
Remember this...
Don t let a kiss fool you
Never marry for love
Everything has its price
Everything has its place
What s more romantic
Then dying in the moonlight?
Now they re all watching the sea
What s lost can never be broken
Her roots were sweet
But they were so shallow
And now she s dead
Forever dead
(walkdown)
Forever dead and lovely now
And now she s dead
Forever dead
(Walkdown)
And she s so dead and lovely now
