Please Dont Bury Me - John Prine | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
B7

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E
 Woke up this morning
A
 Put on my slippers
E                              B7
 Walked in the kitchen and died
    E
And oh what a feeling!
        A
When my soul went through the ceiling
      B                     E
And on up into heaven I did ride

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
          A
When I got there they did say
         E
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
B    E
 And all the angels say
       A                   E
Just before you passed away
                    B
These were the very last words
         E
That you said

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A
Please don't bury me
     E
Down in the cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
                      B
And pass me all around
E
Throw my brain in a hurricane
        A                 E
And the blind can have my eyes
        A                     E
And the deaf can take both of my ears
   B                       E
If they don't mind the size

[Solo 1]

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E
Give my stomach to Milwaukee
   A               E
if they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
             F#         B
Just get 'em out of here
E
Venus de Milo can have my arms
     A                      E
Look out! I've got your nose
A                    E
Sell my heart to the Junkman
    B                   E
And give my love to Rose

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    A
But please don't bury me
     E
Down in the cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
                      B
And pass me all around
E
Throw my brain in a hurricane
        A                 E
And the blind can have my eyes
        A                    E
And the deaf can take both of my ears
B                      E
If they don't mind the size

[Verse 3]
---------------------
E
Give my feet to the footloose
A                   E
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
      F#                   B
Don't pull that stuff on me
E
Hand me down my walking cane
       A                E
It's a sin to tell a lie
A             E
Send my mouth way down south
B                   E
And kiss my ass goodbye

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    A
But please don't bury me
     E
Down in the cold cold ground
No, I'd druther have 'em cut me up
                      B
And pass me all around
E
Throw my brain in a hurricane
        A                 E
And the blind can have my eyes
        A                    E
And the deaf can take both of my ears
B                          E
If they don't mind the size
