D                E
Someone called the other day
F         D                  G           E
Said old Teddy Greenstreets passed away
     Am
They buried him on Saturday
      F                          Am
They said it was a lovely way to go
         G             F      E
In his sleep, didn't know a thing

[Verse 2]

     D            E
His wife couldn't go
F           D               G            E
Her second husband took her uptown to a show
     Am
His sons and daughters emigrated
 F                              Am
Said it cost too much to travel home
         G           F      E
Sent a wreath and a sheath

[Chorus]

A            C        F  G   A
Isn't it a shame that no one came
     A           C         F   G    A
The funeral was quiet, but all the same
      D          A            F   C
He's much better off where he is now
         D
Rest in peace, Teddy.

[Verse 3]

In his sleep, didn't know a thing

[Chorus]

A            C        F  G   A
Isn't it a shame that no one came

      D          A            F   C
He's much better off where he is now
         D
Rest in peace, Teddy
         D
Rest in peace, Teddy
