Intro: E5 

         E5 
When the last, breath of life 
   A5             E5
Is gone from , my body 
                                B5
And my lips, are as cold as the sea 
        E5
When my friends gather 'round 
    A5            E5
For my, farewell party 
      B5                     E5
Won't you, pretend you love me 
              A5
There will be flowers from those 
       E5
Who'll cry, when I go 
                                  B5
And leave you in this, old world alone 
  E5
I know you'll have fun 
       A5        E5
At my, farewell party 
      B5                      E5
Won't you, be glad, when I'm gone
