A   D

[Verse 1]
       A                              D
Well I ain't afraid of dying, its the thought of being dead
              D/C#              Bm           E
I wanna go on being me once my eulogy's been read
      A                                 D
Don't spread my ashes out to sea, don't lay me down to rest
               D/C#                 Bm            E
You can put my mind at ease if you fill my last request

[Chorus]
        A
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
                                       E
Lord I wanna go to heaven, but I don't wanna go tonight
A            A7            D                 D7
Fill my boot up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
        A             G       E    A
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die

[Verse 2]
     A                E         A
Just let my headstone be a neon sign
                              E
Just let it burn in memory of all of my good times
A                A7                D             D7
Fix me up with a mannequin, just remember I like blondes
            A                      E
I'll be the life of the party even when I'm dead and gone

[Chorus]
        A
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die
                                       E
Lord I wanna go to heaven, but I don't wanna go tonight
A            A7            D                 D7
Fill my boot up with sand, put a stiff drink in my hand
        A             G       E    A
Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die

     A                 A7           D                   D7
Just make your next selection and while you're still in line
A                                  E
You can pay your last respects one quarter at a time
