Dm F I got dead man's rod dead man's reel C Dm Dead man's tuxedo with a lived in feel C Dm Dead man's desk and a dead man's chair G Dm No I ain't dead yet, but I'm getting there Dm F From a dead man's closet I got a dead man's belt C A pair of bedroom slippers Dm Worn out was how they felt C Dm And an old tweed jacket with patched elbows G Dm Dress rehearsal in a dead man's clothes F C Yeah I walked a mile in a dead man's shoes G Dm Paid off a dead man's debts, and all his union dues F C Slept with a dead man's widow, took in a dead man's kid Bm A Whatever I could was all I did.

Dm F I wore a dead man's pants, with a dead man's shirt C Dm tried all of it on, hell it couldn't hurt C Dm Clothes make the man, so it's been said G Dm But a man sports a shroud when he's buried and he's dead Dm F Tried a dead man's hat on and it hurt my head C Dm Replayed an outgoing message, the last words he said C Dm I got a dead man's watch ain't no big crime G Dm I ain't dead yet, I got a little more time F C I read a dead man's will, cashed a dead man's cheque G Dm Tied a dead man's neck tie round my neck F C I wrecked a dead man's car, I sank a dead man's boat Bm A I said a dead man's pray another dead man wrote Dm F Played a dead man's guitar, sang a dead man's song C Dm I guess you'll starting to wonder how long will this go on C Dm It's almost over, when its sung done and said G Dm I'll sleep dream and die in a dead man's bed
