Em Am Now my Life is coming to an end F C There's only one thing I'm wishing for Em Am All my days I have never sinned F So I hope you won't ignore G G..G..GGGG What I'm asking for...
[Chorus 1]
C Oh honey when I die F G Dress me up in a coat and tie C Give me a pair of shoes F G That I haven't wore in a long time C Put me in a golden box F G Not a cross with a pile of rocks C Bury me where the grass is green F G And the gates are shining...
[Chorus 2]
