Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[A]Wok[D]e up this mornin[G]g
Put on my [D]slippers
Walked in the kitchen an[A]d died
And [D]oh what a feeling!
When [G]my soul went through the ceiling
And [A]on up into heaven I did [D]ride
When [G]I got there they did say
John, it [D]happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your [A]head
And [D]all the angels say
Just be[G]fore you passed [D]away
These were the very [A]last words
That you said
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
Please don't bury me
Down in [D]the cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have
'em cut me up
And pass me all [A]around
[D]Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the [G]blind can have [D]my eyes
And the [G]deaf can take [D]both of my ears
If [A]they don't mind the size

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Give my stomach to Milwaukee
[G]If they run out of [D]beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just [E]get 'em out of [A]here
[D]Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look [G]out! I've got your [D]nose
[G]Sell my heart to the Junk[D]man
And [A]give my love [D]to Rose

[Verse 4]
But [G]please don't bury me
Down in [D]that cold, cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
And pass me all [A]around
Throw [D]my brain in a hurricane
And [G]the blind can have [D]my eyes
And [G]the deaf can take [D]both of my ears
If [A]they don't mind the size

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][E][A][D]
[G][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Give my feet to the footloose
[G]Careless, fancy [D]free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't [E]pull that stuff on [A]me
[D]Hand me down my walking cane
[G]It's a sin to tell a [D]lie
[G]Send my mouth way[D] down south
And [A]kiss my ass good[D]bye

[Verse 6]
But [G]please don't bury me
Down [D]in that cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
And pass me all [A]around
[D]Throw my brain in a hurricane
And [G]the blind can have my [D]eyes
And [G]the deaf can take [D]both of my ears
If [A]they don't mind the size
[D]
