This lace collar's choking me

Pre-Chorus
A D
They've got him laying there in pinstripes
G D A
How'd they get him in that suit?
G D
I guess the lord will recognize him
A D
Without his overalls and mule
A D
They all say he looks so natural
G D A
But all I see is a cold dark hole
G D
I won't commit this day to memory

That ain't the Grandpa that I know
A D G D A D
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
