Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Strum: B ↓ AB ↓ [Verse 1] D G Woke up this morning, put on my slippers D A Walked in the kitchen and died D G And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling A D and on up in to heaven I did rise G D When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way D A you slipped upon the floor and hit your head D G And all the angels say just before you passed away D A D these were the very last words that you said [Chorus 1] G D Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground D A I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around D G D Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes G D A D The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size [Verse 2] D G Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer D E7 A Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here D G D Venus de milo can have my arms Look out! I've got your nose G D A D Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to Rose [Chorus 2] G D But, please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground D A I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around D G D Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes G D A D And the deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size [Verse 3] D G Give my feet to the foot-loose careless fancy free D E7 A Give my knees to the needy don't 'cha pull that stuff on me D G D Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a sin to tell a lie G D A D Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass goodbye [Chorus 3] G D But, please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground D A I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around D G D Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes G D A D The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
