[Verse 1]
C                     F                   C
Woke up this morning, put on my slippers

                          G
walked to the kitchen and died

    C                         F
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the celing

    G           F            C
and on up in to heaven I did rise

       F                              C
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way

                                       G     
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head

     C                      F                 C
And all the angels say just before you passed away

                   G                   C
these are the very last words that you said
[Chorus]
F                         C
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground

                                              G
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around

C                                      F                 C
Throw my brains in a huricane, and the blind can have my eyes

F                C                G                  C
'deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
[Verse 2]
C                              F               C
Give my stomach to Milwakee if they run out of beer

                                 G             
Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a 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 junk man and give my love to Rose
[Chorus]
F                         C
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground

                                              G
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around

C                                      F                 C
Throw my brains in a huricane, and the blind can have my eyes

F                C                G                  C
'deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
[Instrumental] C F C G C F C F C G C [Verse 3]
C                               F              C
Give my feet to the foot-loose, careless fancy free

                                  G          
Give my knees to the needy, don't pull that stuff on me

C                                    F             C
Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie

F             C                  G                C
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye
[Chorus]
F                         C
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground

                                              G
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around

C                                      F                 C
Throw my brains in a huricane, and the blind can have my eyes

F                C                G                  C
'deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
