[Verse]
C                   F/C
Well, the music was sad
    C             G                       F/C
The widow was all dressed in black and we sang
     C                      G
Told stories all about the good ole days
           F/C                                     C
There were hugs to give and a few more tears to cry
        F/C                                        C
Then we closed the lid and we gave him one last ride
                       F/C                       G
And we laid him in the ground And headed back to town

[Chorus]
            Am
There were casseroles and pecan pies
F/C
Mama's sweet tea and beer on ice
C                              G
Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
Am
Preacher cleared his throat and then he said
F/C
Everybody bow your heads
C                                 G
And just like that everything was blessed
              Am     G         F/C     C
So here's to death, dyin' and deviled eggs

[Verse]
C            F/C
Yeah such is life
      C                     G                 F/C
We're all at the mercy of a butter knife on a plate
C                          G
Checkered table cloth and "I'll Fly Away"
F/C                                   C
Keep in mind that it always ends the same
            F/C                             C
And there's no love like no potluck left to save
                           F/C                            G
And they'll lay you in the ground    And all head back to town

[Verse]
      Am
Those casseroles and pecan pies
 F/C
Mama's sweet tea and beer on ice
C                              G
Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
Am
Preacher cleared his throat and then he says
F/C
Everybody bow your heads
    C                            G
And just like that everything is blessed
             Am     G         F/C      C
So here's to death, dyin' and deviled eggs

[Instrumental]
F/C   C   F/C   C   G

       Am                                    G
If you wanna go to heaven       Better have Jesus in your soul
     F/C                                      C                 G
Make damn well sure              That you get plenty before you go

[Verse]
      Am
Those casseroles and pecan pies
F/C
Mama's sweet tea and beer on ice
C                              G
Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
Am
Preacher cleared his throat and then he says

Yeah, just like that everything is blessed
              Am     G        F/C      C
So here's to death, dyin' and deviled eggs

[Outro]
               F/C                     G
Yeah here's to death    And here's to dyin'
                        C
Gotta love them deviled eggs
