[Bb] They're gonna lay me low
Lay [D] me low
They're gonna [Eb] sink me in [Bb] the snow
[Eb] They're gonna [Bb] throw back their heads and crow
[C] When I [F] go they're gonna jump and [Bb] shout
[D] Lay me low
They're [Eb] gonna wave their
[Bb] arms about
[Eb] All the scars will [D] come out
[Gm] When I go
[Eb] [F] All the [Bb] scars will all go [D] by
And [Eb] my friends will give [Bb] up the fight
They'll [Eb] see my work on a [Bb] different light
[C] Yeah, when I [F] go
They'll try to tell her for [Bb] him her mother [D] leaves
But [Eb] they'll end up [Bb] getting my brother
[Eb] We'll spill a sky of [D] summer long gone lover [Gm] that I hardly know
[Eb] [F] Hats [Eb]

[D] Take your final bow
[Gm] Make it stand
Take my hand [Eb] and blow it all
[F] The hell they're [Bb] going for
Holy [D] sheesh
Oh [Eb] breathe a sigh of [Bb] relief
He'll say [Eb] I was a malander and a bad lander [Bb] and a thief
[C]
Yeah, when [F] I go
They'll interview [Bb] my teachers
[D] They'll say I [Eb] was one of God's sorry [Bb] creatures
They'll [Eb] print informative sex [D] page features
When [Gm] I go
[Eb] They'll [F] bang a big [Bb] old gong
[D] The [Gm] [Eb] markade will be ten [Bb] miles long
The [Eb] whole world trying to get a [Bb] first farewell song
[C] When they put me down [F] below
They'll sound a fugal [Bb]
horn
[Dm] And [D] the sea will [Eb] rage and the sky [Bb] will storm
[Eb] Oh man, at peace [D] we'll mourn
[Gm] When I go
[Eb] [F] [Eb]
Hats off [Bb] to the man [Eb] on [Gm] top of the [Bb] world
[Dm] Come crawl [Gm] up here baby
And we can [C] watch this damn [F] thing turn
If you wanna [Bb] be my friend then you wanna [D] rip hands
And you want it [Eb] all to end and you wanna [Bb] know when
What [Eb] to end now, do it now, [D] take a long last bow
