C
The man who preached the funeral
C F
Said it really was a simple way to die
G7
He laid down to rest one afternoon
G7 C
And never opened up his eyes
C
They hired me and Fred and Joe
C F
To dig the grave and carry up some chairs
G7
It took us seven hours
G7 C
And I guess we must have drunk a case of beer
C
I guess I ought to go and watch them put 'em down
C F
But I don't own a suit
G7
And anyway when they start talking about
G7 C
The fire in hell well I get spooked
C
So I'll just sit here in my truck
C F
And act like I don't know 'em when they pass
G7
Anyway when they're all through
G7 C
I've got to go to work and mow the grass
C
Well here they come and who's that
C F
Riding in that big ole shiny limousine
G7
Mmh look at all that chrome I do believe
G7 C
That that's the sharpest thing I've seen
C
That must belong to his great uncle
C F
Someone said he owned a big ole farm
G7
When they get parked I'll mosey down
G7 C
And look it over that won't do no harm
C
Well that must be the widow in the car
C F
And would you take a look at that
G7
That sure is a pretty dress
G7 C
You know some women do look good in black
C
Well he's not even in the ground
C F
And they say that his truck is up for sale
G7
They say she took it pretty hard
G7 C
But you can't tell too much behind the veil
C
Well listen ain't that pretty
C F
When the bugler plays the Military taps
G7
I think that when you was in the war
G7 C
They always hide and play a song like that
C
Well here I am and there they go
C F
And I guess you'd just call it my bad luck
G7
I hope he rests in peace the trouble is
G7 C
The fellow owes me forty bucks
