D7
[Verse 1]
D7 G D7
A man knocked upon the door, said "Don't you know you're gonna die some day"
A7
I've got a plan for you, man, for when you pass away.
D7 G D7
We'll give to your mother, your kids and your wife
C7 D7
And all you have to give in return is your life.
[Chorus]
G D7
Take out some insurance, insurance today,
C7 D7
For tomorrow will come and take us away.
[Verse 2]
A7 G D7
Two men were gambling in a parlour one night
A7
When a woman walked in with her dress up so tight.
G D7
She asked the two gentlemen would they fight for her name.
C7 D7
They got up and shot her and went back to their game.
[Chorus]
G D7
Take out some insurance, insurance today,
C7 D7
For tomorrow will come and take us away.

[Verse 3]
D7 A7 G D7
This aint no sad song, don't cry in your beer,
A7
for one day will come and we won't be here.
G D7
Somebody else will take up our game,
C7 D7
Different place, different name.
[Chorus]
G D7
Take out some insurance, insurance today,
C7 D7
For tomorrow will come and take us away.
