Verse: 1 

F                          C 
They should have shut down all the streets 
G               Em 
Presidents and kings should have been there 
                  F 
With not a single empty seat 
Em               A               F#m                     Bm 
All the schools closed, and the roads we drove down all lined 
G                 A               F#m                    Bm 
Lined with people cap in hand and crying 
G                 A                           F 
That went on for miles and miles and miles and miles

Verse: 2 

F                          C 
They should have shut down all the streets 
G               Em 
All the papers plastered with tributes 
                         F 
We should have asked for privacy 
Em               A                        F#m          Bm 
Though we understand it that some want to share their pain 
G                 A                F#m   Bm 
We would ask to grieve this in our quiet way 
G                    A                          F 
And they should have asked again and again and again

F                          C 
They should have shut down all the streets 
G                Em 
All the bouquets piled on the doorstep 
                         F 
And pages filled with crayon hearts 
Em             A                            F#m          Bm 
That a second grade class had made in their school that day 
G                   A              F#m        Bm 
Because the teacher had to give in some small way 
G                       A                           F 
And there weren't that many ways left for her to say it
