Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Pull  off and hammer on the middle finger on the C chord and use your pinkie finger
 on the third fret of the high e string on the F chord (this is used in the whole song)
As  the earth stood still, Sid began to move
 I understood  the words he said, he understood mine  too
 I watched  sid suffer,  i saw sid strong
 Now tell me where  do the great ones go  when they’re gone
 x2
 He told  me it would be alright, go and have fun
 He said  he loved his family, but it was time to  run
I  loved that old man, i  wrote him this song
 Now tell me where  do the great ones go  when they’re gone
 x2
I’m  so glad, I got to say goodbye
 And when you run  into Jack Sidney, tell him I said hi
I  loved that old man, pray  he’s where he belongs
 Hanging where  do the great ones go  when they’re gone
 x2
I  loved that old man,  I wrote him this song
 Tell me where  do the great ones go  when they’re...
where  do the great ones go  when they’re...
where  do the great ones go  when they’re gone
gone...  gone... gone... gone  gone gone gone gone  etc...
 End on
