Suicide is Painless
Theme from M•A•S•H
Intro: [Bm] x4
[Em7] Through early morning [A7] fog I see, [D] visions of the [Bm] things to be
The [Em] pains that are with [A7] held for me, I [D] realize and [Bm7] I can see [B7]
That [Em7] suicide is [A7] painless, it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [F#m] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please [Bm]
I [Em7] try to find a [A7] way to make [D] all our little [Bm] joys relate
[Em] Without that ever [A7] present hate. But [D]now I know that [Bm7] it’s too late,
and [B7] that [Em7] suicide is [A7] painless - it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [F#m] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please [Bm]
The [Em7] game of life is [A7] hard to play, [D] I’m gonna lose it [Bm7] anyway [Em]
The losing card I'll [A7] someday lay, so [D] this is all I have to [Bm7] say
[B7] That [Em7] suicide is [A7] painless, it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [F#m] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please [Bm]
[Em7] The only way to win is [A7] cheat And [D] lay it down [Bm7] before I'm beat
And [Em] to another [A7] give my seat
For [D] that's the only painless [Bm7] feat [B7]
That [Em7] suicide is [A7] painless, it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [F#m] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please [Bm]
The [Em7] sword of time will [A7] pierce our skins
It [D] doesn’t hurt when [Bm7] it begins
But [Em] as it works its [A7] way on in
The [D] pain grows [Bm7] stronger watch it grin,[B7]
That [Em7] suicide is [A7] painless, it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [F#m] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please [Bm]
A [Em7] brave man once [A7] requested me
To [D] answer questions [Bm7] that are key
Is [Em] it to be or [A7] not to be ?
And [D] I replied 'Oh, [Bm7] why ask me? [B7]
That [Em7] suicide is [A7] painless, it [D] brings on many [Bm7] changes
And [Gmaj7] I can [F#m] take or [Em] leave it [A7] if I [Bm] please [Bm]
And you can [F#m] do the [Em] same thing, [A7] if you [Bm] please [Bm]
