Don't Bury Me
John Prine

Key:
D G Woke up this morning, put on my slippersD A went to the kitchen and diedD G And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the celingA D and on up in to heaven I did riseG When I got there they did say JohnD it happened this-a-way you slipped upon the floor and hitA your headD G And all the angels say just beforeD you passed awayA these are the very last words thatD you saidContinues after the adG D Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground I'd rather have 'em cut me up andA pass me all aroundD Throw my brains in a huricaneG D The blind can have my eyesG D 'deaf can take both of my ears ifA D they don't mind the size Give my stomach to Milwakee if they run out of beer Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here Venus de milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose Sell my heart to the junk man And give my love to Rose CHORUS Give my feet to the foot-loose careless fancy free Give my knees to the needy don't 'cha pull that stuff on me Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye CHORUS
