[Intro]
Am D G
[Chorus]
D G I worked all my life in the cannery shed C D G And if I'm dying or you think I'm dead G Don't bury my bones, but put me instead C D G In a can in the cannery shed
[Verse]
D G The cannery shed perches over the river C D G Where the winter winds blow, we freeze and we shiver G When the boss comes around, I might have to give her C D G My opinion of the cannery shed
[Chorus]
D G I worked all my life in the cannery shed C D G And if I'm dying or you think I'm dead G Don't bury my bones, but put me instead C D G In a can in the cannery shed
[Verse]
D G We chop off the heads and we chop off the tails C D G Scoop out the guts and we throw 'em in the pails G We won't get a rest till the next schooner sails C D G From the dock at the cannery sheds
[Chorus]
D G I worked all my life in the cannery shed C D G And if I'm dying or you think I'm dead G Don't bury my bones, but put me instead C D G In a can in the cannery shed
[Verse]
D G There's no time to talk and there's no time to linger C D G Better move sharp or you might lose a finger G It'd turn your stomach if you knew everything C D G That's been canned in the cannery shed
[Chorus]
D G I worked all my life in the cannery shed C D G And if I'm dying or you think I'm dead G Don't bury my bones, but put me instead C D G In a can in the cannery shed
[Verse]
D G Now, La Faye went away and he wrote me a letter C D G I tucked it up high in the sleeve of my sweater G I slipped and it fell and it ended in the shredder C D G Got canned in the cannery shed
[Chorus]
D G I worked all my life in the cannery shed C D G And if I'm dying or you think I'm dead G Don't bury my bones, but put me instead C D G In a can in the cannery shed
[Verse]
D G Now, the cannery boy, he's a very happy fella C D G If he gets him a girl from the town of Stella G I would if I could, but I'm not going to tell ya C D G What goes on behind the cannery shed
[Chorus]
D G I worked all my life in the cannery shed C D G And if I'm dying or you think I'm dead G Don't bury my bones, but put me instead C D G In a can in the cannery shed
