Farewell Party Chords by Waylon Jennings

[G] _ [E] _ [C] _ _ _ When _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ the last breath of life is [F] gone from [C] my body,
_ _ _ And my lips are as cold _ [G] as the sea,
_ _ _ _ [C] When my friends gather round _ _ [F]
my farewell [C] _ party, _ _
_ _ [G] Please _ won't you pretend you [C] love me? _ _ _
_ _ [F] There'll be flowers from those [C] who cry _ when I go,
_ And leave you and your soul to [G] whirl alone. _ _ _
_ _ [C] Will _ you shed a tear _ [F] at my [C] farewell party,
_ _ _ _ [G] Or will you be glad _ [C] when I'm gone?
_ _ _ Don't be _ angry with me [F] for _ wanting [C] to keep you, _ _
_ Till my life and this old world is [G] done and through. _ _ _
_ _ [C] You'll be free _ at the end _ [F] of my farewell [C]
party,
_ _ _ _ _ [G] But I'll _ go away _ [C] loving you.
_ _ _ _ There'll [F] be flowers from those who [C]
cry when I go,
_ And leave you and your soul to whirl [G]
[C] alone.
[Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] Will you shed a tear at [F]
my farewell [C] party,
_ Or _ _ [G] will you be glad when [C] I'm gone? _ _ _
