I also used to do, _ I feel more like Dennis _ now, this old Burr Live song, _ _ this old Ja Brow
song that I used to do also in the 60s alongside the Lou Reed song.
It's a bit of an R.E.M.
thing because we can't remember the lyrics or the _ chords, we've only done it two or
three times.
So we'll do it for you tonight, it's called My Death. _ _ _

_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] At the funeral _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] of [D] my [Gm] _
youth, _ _ [G] _ [Eb] we pull out all that _ _ _ [F] at the passing _ time.
_ [Gbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ My [E] death waits like _ _ _ [Gbm] a witch at night, _ _ _ [E] and _ surely _ _ as our [Gbm] love is bright,
[Dbm] _ _ [Gbm] _ _
[E] let's not think about _ the [A] _ passing _ _ _ [Gm] [A] time.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ But whatever [C] lies behind the door, _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ there is nothing much [A] to do.
_ _ [Dm] _
[A] _ _ [Dm] _ _ Angel or devil, _ _ [C] _ I don't care.
_ [Bb] For _ _ [F] what's above the [Gm] world _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [Gm] is [A] _ _ _ you.
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ My death waits like _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] a beggar blind, _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] who sees [Bb] the [Ab] world [Bb] [F] through an undead eye.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Throw him a [Eb] dime for the passing time.
_ _ [Ab] My _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] death _ _ _ waits to allow [Ab] my friends _ a _ [Gb] _ few good _ times _ [Bbm] before it ends.
_ _ _ [Gb] Let's drink to that _ _ [Ab] and the passing _ time.
_ [A] My _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] death _ waits in your _ arms, [A]
between your eyes.
_ _ [G] Your cool fingers _ _ will [A]
close my eyes.
_ Let's [G] not think about _ the _ _ [E]
passing time.
_ _ _ _ [Fm]
But _ _ _ whatever [Eb] lies _ behind the door, _ _ [Db] _
there _ _ is nothing [C] much to _ [F] do.
_ [C] _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ Angel or devil, _
[Eb] I don't care. _ _ _
[Db] _ _ For what's in front of that door, _ _ _ _ there _ [C] is _ you. _ _ _ _

My death [Ab] waits there _ among fallen _ leaves,
[Cm] _ _ [F] _
in the jishis, _ _ _ _ mysterious _ [Fm] _ sleeps, _ _
_ rabbits [F] and dogs of _
[Eb] _ the passing time. _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ My death [Bb] _ _ waits there _ _ [Ab] among the _ flowers, _ _
[Gb] where the _ blackest _ shadow [Bbm] _ _ cowers.
_ [Bb] _ _
[Gb] Let's pick violets for _ _ [Ab] the passing _ time. _ _
[A] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ My [G] death waits _ in a double [A] bed,
_ _ _ _ _ stairs [G] of _ oblivion.
Let's grab at my [A] hand,
_ _ _ _ bloody [G] sheets against _ _ _ _ [E]
the passing time. _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ But whatever lies [Eb] _ behind the door, _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ there is nothing [C] much to do.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Angel or [Eb] devil, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ for _ _ what's in front of that door. _ _ _ _
