Chords

This is that amazing dixie funeral dirge from the popular childrens show Fraggle rock. I couldn't find the chords for the song anywhere so I took a stab at it and I think it's alright.

Dm
When my time to go is here,

        G
Call my friends to gather near.

         Dm                                A
Tell the doctor and the preacher that I'm failing.

Dm
But forget about your black,

           G
'Cause I'm planning to come back.

          Bb                            Dm
Play some honky-tonkin' grief and Dixie wailing.

Chorus:

Bb
Pick me up and lay me down,

    Dm
And spread the news all over town,

    A                                  Dm
And tell 'em all to come or they'll be sorry.

Bb
Pick me up and shake me twice.

    Dm
I'm coming back from paradise.

A                                Dm
This poor boy is here to live in glory.

When it's time to say good-bye, All my friends will sit and cry, And they'll watch the coffin rockin' round and squirmin'. Then they'll raise a mighty shout, When my bones come marching out. And I praise myself and preach the final sermon. CHORUS When the Earth begins to quake, From the shaking at my wake, I'll be here and making music like a light wine [could be life line]. 'Till the honky-tonkin' grief, Gives the Angels sweet relief, 'Cause they know that Dixie wail is still surviving. CHORUS 2x
