[E] Woke up this morning, [A] put on my slippers, [E] walked in the kitchen and [B] dined.
[D#] [E] And oh, what a feeling when [A] my soul went to the ceiling [B] and on up into heaven [E] I did ride.
When I [A] got down they did say, John it [E] happened this way, you slipped upon the floor and hit your [B] head.
And [E] all the angels say, just [A] before you passed [E] away, these were the [B] very last words that [E] you said.
[A] Please don't bury me [E] down in the cold, cold ground.
No, I'm gonna have them cut me up and pass me [B] all around.
[E] So my brain in a [A] hurricane and the blind can [E] have my eye.
[A] And the deaf can [E] take both of my [B] ears if they don't [E] mind a dime.
[A]
[E] Give my stomach two mil, [A] walk to your grave [E] right out of fear.
Put my socks in a cedar [F#] box, just get [B] them out of here.
[E] Venus the mild old can have my [A] arms, look out [E] I've got your nose.
[A] Sell my heart to the junk [B] man and give my [E] love some rose.
[A] But please don't bury [E] me down in the cold, cold ground.
No, I'm gonna have them cut me up and pass me [B] all around.
So [E] my brain in a [A] hurricane and the blind can [E] have my eye.

[E]
Give my feet to the [A] footless, careless, [E] fantasy free.
Give my knees to the needy, [F#] don't pull that stuff [B] on me.
[E] Hand me down my walking cane, [A] it's a sin to tell [E] a lie.
[A] Send my [E] mouth way down [B] south and kiss my ass [E] goodbye.
[A] But please don't bury me [E] down in that cold, cold ground.
No, I'm gonna have them cut me up and pass me all [B] around.
