G C G
Old John from his deathbed cried:
C G C D
"Think I will wait 'til tomorrow to die
G C G
Sun is shining, birds do sing
C G D
This, sir, is no day to go"
Up and out the door
CHORUS:
C G
I've had a life that's full
C G
Everyone's been good to me
C G
So fire up that fiddle, boy
Am D
And give me one last drink
C G
When the sun comes up
C G
I will leave without a fight
C D G
But the world is mine tonight
Took young Molly by the hand
Spun her 'round and back again
Clicked his heels, bowed his head
Never a tear in his eye
Carried on 'til five
(Chorus)
Bridge:
D C G
So raise a glass to the dear departed...
D C G
Won't you raise a glass to the dear departed...
D C Am G
So raise a glass to the dear departed ones
Room was full of all his friends
Never a funeral, this was the end
Drank to all who lent their hand
Everyone drank to John
I've had a life that's full
Everyone's been good to me
So fire up that fiddle, boy
And give me one last drink
When the sun comes up
I will leave without a trace
But the world is mine today
