Please Don't Bury Me Tab par John Prine

C              C       F         F
 Woke up this morning, put on my slippers
C              C           G    G
 Walked in the kitchen and died
    C         C               F                     F
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling
    G           G            C    C
and on up in to heaven I did rise
       F                  F           C               
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way
    C                C                  G    G
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head
    C              C          F               C
And all the angels say just before you passed away
      C             G                   C   
these were the very last words that you said
 
 
CHORUS:
F                 F       C                 C
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
    C               C             C            G     G
I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around
C                    C             F                 C
Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes
    F             C                  G                  C   
The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
 
 
C               C               F               F
Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer 
C                 C              G             G
Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here 
C                 C                 F                  F
Venus de milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose
F                    C            G               C    
Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to Rose
 
CHORUS
 
 
C                    C          F              F
 Give my feet to the foot-loose careless fancy free
C                    C                G                  G
Give my knees to the needy don't 'cha pull that stuff on me
C               C                    F             F
Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie
F             C                  G                C   
Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye
 
 
CHORUS
 
    F             C                  G                   C  
The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
