Song: Prop Me Up Beside The Juke Box When I Die
[Intro]
A D
[Verse 1]
A D
Well I ain't afraid of dying, its the thought of being dead
D/C# D/B E
I wanna go on being me once my eulogy's been read
A D
Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest
D/C# D/B E
You can put my mind at ease if you fill my last request
[Chorus]
A
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
E
Lord I wanna go to heaven, but I don't wanna go tonight
A A7 D D7
Fill my boot up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
A G E
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
[Verse 2]
A E A
Just let my headstone be a neon sign
E
Just let it burn in memory of all of my good times
A A7 D D7
Fix me up with a mannequin, just remember I like blondes
A E
I'll be the life of the party even when I'm dead and gone
[Chorus]
A
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
E
Lord I wanna go to heaven, but I don't wanna go tonight
A A7 D D7
Fill my boot up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
A G E
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
[Instrumental]
A D
Just make your next selection and while you're still in line
A E
You can pay your last respects one quarter at a time
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus acapella and tag]
