         E
When the last, breath of life
   A             E
Is gone from, my body
                                B
And my lips, are as cold as the sea
        E
When my friends gather 'round
    A            E
For my, farewell party
      B                     E
Won't you, pretend you love me

              A
There will be flowers from those
       E
Who'll cry, when I go
                                   B
And leave you in this, old world a lone
  E
I know you'll have fun
       A        E
At my, farewell party
      B                      E
Won't you, be glad, when I'm gone
