         A                      D            A
When the last breath of life is gone from my body
       A                       E
And my lips are as cold as the sea
        A                  A7     D           A
When my friends gather 'round for my farewell party
       E            E7            A
Please won't you pretend you love me?

            D                         A
There'll be flowers from those who'll Cry when I'll go
                                E
And leave you in this old world alone
     A               A7 D           A
Will you shed a tear at my farewell party
   E                         A
Or will you be glad when I'm gone?

          A                D          A
Don't be angry with me for wanting to keep you
        A                                  E
Till my life in this old world is done and through
          A                  D           A
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
    E                   A
But I'll go away loving you.

            D                         A
There'll be flowers from those who'll Cry when I'll go
                                E
And leave you in this old world alone
     A               A7 D           A
Will you shed a tear at my farewell party
   E                         A
Or will you be glad when I'm gone?
