[Verse]
We're all
       C
gonna die
From what I
     E7
can gather
I saw it on a
 Am
meme
On my cracked
ass screen
         D7
At least
It's what I remember


[Chorus]
Red hats on the
   F
horizon
Felt like choosing
        C
Between ATT
      E7
or Verizon
Either way the
 Am
service sucks
         D7
And you can't
hardly talk
They said there's
 G
gonna be change
Well did they
 G7
tell Black Rock

[Verse]
              C
It's raining fire
There's rivers
    E7
of blood
It ain't funny
       Am
But I better get
 to work
'Cause my boss
is a jerk
     D7
And being alive
costs money


[Chorus]
We're all gonna
 F
die
Oh boy are we
 C    Am7
ever
Some call it the
 A7
facist
Multinationalist
 D7
globalist cabbal
           G
Said whoa buddy
Don't go gettin'
 G7
clever

[Outro]
We're all gonna
 C
die
        E7
Eventually
But it's a
 Am
beautiful day
Don't let it
A7
get in the way
          D7
Life's a great
 opportunity
             F
Panic don't look
 that good on you
          C
It don't look
             A7
that good on me
We're all gonna
   D7   G
die
But love is
 C    G C
free

How to play Were All Gonna Die: key, chords and progression

Were All Gonna Die by Jesse Welles keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 9 chords: C, E7, Am, D7, F, G, G7, Am7 and A7.

The backbone of the song is C – E7 – Am – D7 (I – III7 – vi – II7 in C major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
