[Verse 1]
D                    G            
Woke up this morning, put on my slippers
D                         A     
Walked in the kitchen and died
    D                         G                      
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling
    A                        D      
and on up in to heaven I did rise
       G                              D                
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way
    D                                   A      
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head
    D                         G                
And all the angels say just before you passed away
      D             A                   D     
these were the very last words that you said 
 

[Chorus 1]
G                         D                  
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
    D                                          A       
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
D                                  G                 D
Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes
    G             D                  A                   D     
The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size


[Verse 2]
D                               G                
Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer 
D                                E7            A
Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here 
D                                   G                  D
Venus de milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose
G                    D            A               D      
Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to Rose


[Chorus 2]
     G                         D                 
But, please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
    D                                          A
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
D                                  G                 D
Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes
        G             D                  A                   D    
And the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size


[Verse 3]
D                              G               
Give my feet to the foot-loose careless fancy free
D                                     E7                 A
Give my knees to the needy don't 'cha pull that stuff on me
D                                    G             D
Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie
G             D                  A               D    
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass goodbye
 

[Chorus 3]
     G                         D                  
But, please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
    D                                          A      
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
D                                  G                 D
Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes
    G             D                  A                   D    
The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
