When I Die Chords by Pepper Coyote

For when I die [Db] and when [F] I'm ashes
_ [Bm] And no more [Bb] _
songs [C] I can [F] repeat
[Ab] _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] Whoever's _ [Db]
singing at [F] my funeral
_ [B] Had [Bb] better _ learn [C] to move [F] their feet
[Am]
Cause [Dm] when I die [Db] right [Am] around forty
[G]
And when [Gm] my fuse has [F] reached its end
[A]
You [Dm] best [Db] believe we'll [F] all be drinking
[G]
Now [Gm] don't ask why, [F] maybe when _
_ [Dm] Some [C] people croak it [F] and then [Bb] everyone chokes on [Eb] bitter tears
[A] Oh Lord, why'd he [D] have to go? _
_ [Gm] But [C] when I stroll I think [F] we'll all [Bb] probably know
That [Eb] I was new [A] any time
I mean you can't live that hard for long
So [Dm] when I [Db] die and [F] when I'm buried
[G]
Come [A] watch me _ [C] sink into [F] the ground
[A]
Forget [Dm] the [Db] dirt, just [F] drain a bottle
[G]
And [Gm] if they ask, just [F] say I've drowned _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Am] _ _ [B] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
For [Dm] when I die [Db] and [F] when it's over
[G]
And all [Gm] my _ [C] friends are left [F] behind
[A]
I [Dm] wouldn't [A] doubt that they'll [F] be jealous
[G]
They'll have [Bb] to do [C] more [F] work than I _
_ [Gm] Some [C] people croak it and [F] then [Bb] everyone chokes on [Eb] bitter tears
Oh [A] Lord, why'd he [D] have to go? _
_ [Gm] But [C] when I stroll I think [F] we'll all [Bb] probably know
That I [Eb] was new [A] any time
I mean you can't live that hard for long
So when [Dm] I [Db] die and when [F] I'm sober
[G]
There'll be [Gm] more _ [C] stories left [F] to write
[A]
Take up [Dm] my pen [Db] and [F] get to scribbling
[G]
Puncture [Gm] your silence till [F] you're bright _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm]
For when I die, for [A] when I die
[Dm] _ _ [A]
Jordan, _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm [Gm] only going _ [A] _ over
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
