[Verse 1]

D D G G
Woke up this mornin, put on my slippers
D D A A
Walked in the kitchen and died
D D
And oh what a feeling
G G
When my soul went through the ceiling
A A D D
And on up into heaven I did rise
G G
When I got there they did say
D D
"John it happened this ole way,
A A
You slipped upon the floor and hit your head"
D D G G D D
And all the angel say just before you passed away
A A D D
These were the very last words that you said


[Chorus]

G G D D
Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground
A A
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
D D G G D D
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
G G D D
And the deaf can take both my ears
A A D D
If they don't mind the size


[Verse 2]

D D G G
Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer
D D
Put my socks in a cedar box,
A A
just get them out of here
D D
Venus De Milo can have my arms,
G G
look out I got your nose
D D A A D D
Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to rose


[Chorus]

G G D D
Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
A A
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
D D G G D D
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
G G D D
And the deaf can take both my ears
A A D D
if they don't mind the size


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

G G D D
Please don't bury me down in the cold cold ground
A A
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
D D G G D D
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes
G G D D
And the deaf can take both my ears
A A D D
if they don't mind the size
