E                                A           E  
When the last breath of life is gone from my body 
                                B7  
And my lips are as cold as the sea 
         E                      A.          E  
When my friends gather round for my farewell party 
      B7                 E  
Won't you pretend you love me 

Chorus:
A                                    E  
There,ll be flowers from those who'll cry when I'm gone 
                                 B7  
And leave you in this old world alone 
  E                      A          E  
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party 
  B7                          E  
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone 

E A E  

      E               A          E  
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you 
                                   B7  
Till my life on this old world is though 
           E                 A           E  
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party 
     B7                 E  
But I'll go away lovein' you 

Chorus
