Here are the chords to go along with them. If I've made an error in the chords let me know. I saw them in Guitar or some mag. I can't remember. Anyway, they sound pretty true. One more thing, just a regular G will do instead of a G7, I can't tell much difference. Suicide is Painless--Theme from the movie M*A*S*H _________________________________________________

Through ^Em7early morning ^A7fog I see / ^Dvisions of the ^Bmthings to be The ^Empains that are with-^Asusheld from ^A7me / I ^Drealize and ^Bm7I can ^F#m7see ^B7that

^Em7Suicide is ^A7Painless, it ^Dbrings on many ^Bm7changes And ^Gmaj7I can t^D/F#ake or ^Emleave it ^A7if I ^Bmplease

Try to find a way to make / all our little joys relate Without that ever-present hate / and now I know that it's too late and... The game of life is hard to play / I'm going to lose it anyway The losing card I'll sometimes lay / so this is all I'm going to say that... The only way to win is cheat / and lay it down before I'm beat And to another give a seat / for that's the only painless feat 'cause... The sword of time will pierce our skins / it doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in / the pain grows stronger -- watch it grin. For... A brave man once requested me / to answer questions that are key Is it to be or not to be / and I replied, "Oh, why ask me'" 'cause... Suicide is painless, it brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please.

The sheet music I had was arranged for piano - so the chords and tab are just guesses. The music sounds right on piano, but I haven't tested it on guitar.
