[C#] [D] Woke up this morning, [G] put on my slippers, [D] walked in the kitchen [A] and dined.
[D] And oh, what a feeling when [G] my soul went through the ceiling [A] and on up into heaven I [D] did ride.
When [G] I got there they did say, [A] John, it happened this way.
You slipped upon the floor and hit your head.
[D] And all the angels said, [G] just before you [D] passed away, that these were the [A] very last words [D] that you said.
[G] Please don't bury me [D] down in the cold, cold ground.
No, I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me [A] all around.
[D] Throw my brain in a [G] hurricane, the blind can [D] have my eyes [G] and the deaf can [D] take hold of my [A] ears, but they don't [D] mind the sight.
[G] [D]
[G] [D] [A]
[D] They'd give my stomach to [G] Milwaukee if they run [D] out of beer.
And put my socks in a cedar [B] box just to get them [A] out of here.
[D] A Venus de Malo could have my arms, look out, I got [A] your nose.
[G] Sell my [A] heart to the junk man and give my [D] love to Rose.
[G] But please don't bury me [D] down in the cold, cold ground.
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me [A] all around.
[D] Throw my brain in a [G] hurricane, the blind can [D] have my eyes [G] and the deaf can [D] take hold of my [A] ears, but they don't [D] mind the sight.
[G] But [D]
give [A] [D] [G] [D]
[A] [D]
my feet to the footloose, [G] careless, fancy [D] free.
And give my knees to the needy, [E] don't pull that stuff [A] on me.
[D]
Hand me down my walking [G] cane, it's a sin for you to [D] tell a lie.
[G] Send my [D] mouth way down [A] south and kiss my ass [D] goodbye.
[G] But please don't bury me [D] down in the cold, cold ground.
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me [A] all around.
[D] Throw my brain in a hurricane, [G] the blind can have [D] my eyes [G] and the deaf can [D] take hold of my [A] ears, but they don't [D] mind the sight.
