Chords

[Verse 1]
D
Someday when it's all over,

         G             D
And they come to carry me.
And you're walkin' slow and wearin' black
         E7               A
With the rest of the family.

D
And the choir stands to sing a song,

     G                D
Make sure it's one of mine.

D
I had a few more tunes

D
I wanted to write,

    E7     A     D
But I ran out of time.
[Chorus]
D                       G                 D
Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun.

                                   E7         A
Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.

D                           G                   D
One I wrote for mama, and a couple still aren't through.

D                                        E7      A        D
I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
[Verse 2]
     D
That day when it's all over,

           G              D
And you're settin' all alone.
They'll come and ask you what you want.
        E7            A
To have written on my stone.

D
Tell'em when I was born and died,

    G            D
The year and the day,

D
And if there's room for something more

E7          A       D
Here's what you can say.
[Chorus 2]
D                        G                  D
Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun.

                                    E7           A
Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.

D                                    G               D
One he wrote for his mama, and never finished two or three

D                                      E7      A         D
He lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me
[Chorus]
D                       G                 D
Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun.

                                   E7         A
Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.

D                           G                   D
One I wrote for mama, and a couple still aren't through.

D                                        E7      A        D
I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
[Outro]
D                                      E7      A         D
I lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
