Woke up this morning, put on my slippers
C G
Walked in the kitchen and died
C F
And oh what a feeling, when my soul went through the ceiling
G C
And on up into heaven I did ride
F C
When I got there they did say, John, it happened this ole way
C G
You slipped upon the floor and hit your head
C F C
And all the angels say, just before you passed away
C G C
These were the very last words that you said:
F C
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
C G
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
C F C
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
F C G C
And the deaf can take both my ears if they don't mind the size
C F C
Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer
C D G
Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out of here
C F C
Venus de Milo can have my arms look out, I've got your nose
F C G C
Sell my heart to the junkman and give my love to Rose
F C
But, Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
C G
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
C F C
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
F C G C
And the deaf can take both my ears if they don't mind the size
C F C
Give my feet to the footloose, careless, fancy free
C D G
Give my knees to the needy, don't pull that stuff on me
C F C
Hand me down my walking cane it's a sin to tell a lie
F C G C
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass goodbye
F C
But, Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
C G
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
C F C
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
F C G C
And the deaf can take both my ears if they don't mind the size
