I'm still young, but I know my days are numbered 
C       G         Em         D 
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on 
       G         C               G               D 
But a time will come when these numbers have all ended 
     C             G               Em       D 
And all I've ever seen will be forgotten 
 
 C         G 
Won't you come 
C      G               D        Em        C  D 
To my funeral when my days are done 
 C          G 
Life's not long 
    C              G             D        Em         C            D 
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round 
   C             D        G 
As I am lowered into the ground 
 
G C Em D 
 
When my coffin is sealed and I'm safely six feet under 
Perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me 
When they pause to consider all my blunders 
I hope they won't be too quick to begrudge me 
 
Won't you come 
To my funeral when my days are done 
Life's not long 
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round 
As I am lowered into the ground 
 
G C Em D 
 
C           G             Am  G/B 
If I should die before I wake up 
C                G                 Am  G/B 
I pray that the lord my soul will take but 
   Em D     C G           Am       D 
My body, my body, that's your job 
 
I can't be sure where I'm headed after death 
To heaven to hell or beyond to the great vast 
But if I can I would like to meet my maker 
There's one or two things I'd sure like to ask 
 
Won't you come 
To my funeral when my days are done 
Life's not long 
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you'll gather round 
As I am lowered into the ground
