[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ But I don't ever remember telling him that.
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] The words that are spoken at a funeral [Db] are spoken too late for the man that is dead.
_ [Ab] _ [Eb] What a wonderful thing it would be to visit your own [Fm] funeral, _ to sit at the front [Db] and hear what

_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ If he was here now, _ if he could hear [Bb] what I say, _ I'd [Db] congratulate him [Eb] on being a great
