Eb Bb  Gm Eb D Gm

[Verse 1]
     Eb      Bb     F        Gm
Well I’m in such a terrible state
        Eb        Bb       F
And my country’s just like me
        Eb      Bb      F            Gm
Well I can’t afford to live in this place
       Eb      Bb      F
And I can’t afford to leave
         Bb                  F      Gm
But my friends all say that it’s a shame
     Eb              Bb         F
And they just can’t understand why
           Eb       Bb        Gm
Oh, but if I don’t make it before I die, then I
Eb          D       Gm
  Just ain’t gonna die

[Verse 2]
      Eb          Bb        F        Gm
Well, I’ve been travelin' around the world
             Eb        Bb    F
And there’s nowhere I ain't been
    Eb    Bb        F      Gm
And everywhere goes by so fast
       Eb         Bb        F
And I don’t know what I've seen
          Bb                  F          Gm
And they push me 'round on a wild goose chase
    Eb      Bb      F
By land or sea or sky
           Eb       Bb        Gm
Oh, but if I don’t make it before I die, then I
Eb          D      Gm
  Just ain’t gonna die
       Eb       Bb        Gm
No, if I don’t make it before I die, then I
Eb          D       Gm
  Just ain’t gonna die

[Bridge]
Eb                     Gm
  Give me a bottle of wine
F                Gm
  I don’t wanna drink
Eb                  F
  Get me out of my mind
D
  I don’t wanna think

[Verse 3]
Eb       Bb      F    Gm
When I close my weary eyes
    Eb        Bb      F
I think that it’s the end
          Eb   Bb          F  Gm
But it’s only then that I realize
     Eb     Bb        F
That I’m my own best friend
          Bb              F       Gm
There’s another day and another chance
        Eb      Bb      F
To put sixpence in the pie
           Eb       Bb       Gm
Oh, and if I don’t find it before I die, then I
Eb            D       Gm
  Just ain’t gonna die
       Eb       Bb       Gm
No, if I don’t find it before I die, then I
Eb            D       Gm
  Just ain’t gonna die
       Eb       Bb       Gm
No, if I don’t find it before I die, then I
Eb            D       Gm
  Just ain’t gonna die
