Johnny Paycheck – Dont Bury Me Til Im Ready (Guitar)

G          D7          G
Don't bury me till I'm ready

                                G7
Don't tell me that I'm gonna be missed

      C                        G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit in your eye

        D7                   G
Cause I ain't going out like this

                D7         G
I've been forty years in a factory

                                           G7
And I've lived all my life in a little old shack

  C                       G
I gave up my youth to the boss man

                                                 D7
But as far as I know he ain't never give nothing back

         G                D7         G
Now they tell me that I'm too old to cut it

                            C
That I oughta go and rest a spell

     C                         G
They say that I'll be dead any day now

    D7                               G
But they don't know this old boy too well

G           D7                G
Cause don't bury me till I'm ready

                                G7
Don't tell me that I'm gonna be missed

      C                        G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit in your eye

                    D7       G
Cause I ain't going out like this

         G                    D7       G
You know ain't I never had no easy occupation

                            G7
Hard work's all that I ever knew

       C                               G
It's a fact I ain't got a thing now to show for it

        D7                          G
All the misery that life has put me through

           G                     D7            G
Yeah but a voice down deep in my guts keeps on screaming

                                    C
John you been going too long now to stop

     C                               G
I've spent my whole life down on the bottom

           D7                                   G
But by the grace of God I'm gonna go out on the top

                D7          G
Yeah don't bury me till I'm ready

                                G7
Don't tell me that I'm gonna be missed

      C                        G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit in your eye

                  D7       G
And I ain't going out like this

                      D7               G
I ain't gonna let you bury me till I'm ready

                                G7
Don't tell me that I'm gonna be missed

      C                        G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit right in your eye

                  D7       G
And I ain't going out like this

                      D7               G
I ain't gonna let you bury me till I'm ready

                                           G7
I ain't gonna list the things that I won't do

         C                        G
Might as well get it straight I'm still in good shape

                       D7                      G
Until I'm gone you can bet I'm gonna do what I want to

                                         D7              G
Hey, hey I better not catch you tryin to bury me til I'm ready

                                                  G7
And everytime you tell me you lie and say I'll be missed

      C                        G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit right in your eye

                  D7       G
And I ain't going out like this
