Chords
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
