Going Out In Style lyrics

F (133211@1)Bb (x1333x@1)                     Eb (x43121@3)          FI've (133211@1)seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles
Bb (x1333x@1)                         Ebm (xx4342@1)          EbShook (x43121@3)a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles
Bb (x1333x@1)                               Eb (x43121@3)              FI've (133211@1)caused some great concern and told one too many lies
Bb (x1333x@1)                                  FAnd (133211@1)now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes

Bb (x1333x@1)                           EbSo (x43121@3)what if I threw a party and all my friends were there?
Bb (x1333x@1)                       FAcquaintances, (133211@1)relatives, the girls who never cared
Bb (x1333x@1)                                       EbYou'll (x43121@3)have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door
FSide (133211@1)by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby 'Orr
BbI'd (x1333x@1)invite the Flannigans
EbReplace (x43121@3)the window you smashed out
Bb (x1333x@1)                         FI'd (133211@1)apologize the Sluggo for pissing on his couch
Bb (x1333x@1)                         EbI'll (x43121@3)see Mrs. McAuliffe and so many others soon
FThen (133211@1)I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room

Bb (x1333x@1)                            EbSo (x43121@3)what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino?
BbHe'd (x1333x@1)tell you to get a permit
FWell (133211@1)this time Tom I don't think so
BbIt's (x1333x@1)a neighborhood reunion
EbBut (x43121@3)now we'd get along
FVan (133211@1)Morrison would be there and he'd sing me one last song
Bb (x1333x@1)                                  EbWith (x43121@3)a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night
BbThree (x1333x@1)handsome four string troubadours
FAnd (133211@1)Newton's own Fat Mike
Bb (x1333x@1)                                  EbI'll (x43121@3)be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz
FBut (133211@1)there's a back up in the bathroom
FCause (133211@1)the Badger's got the shits

Chorus:
Bb (x1333x@1)                             EbYou (x43121@3)may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
Bb (x1333x@1)                            FYou (133211@1)can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Bb (x1333x@1)                               EbRoast (x43121@3)me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
FI (133211@1)could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
Bb (x1333x@1)                          EbYou (x43121@3)can take my urn to Fenway spread my ashes all about
Bb (x1333x@1)            
Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach
FAnd (133211@1)dump the sucker out
Bb (x1333x@1)                          Eb (x43121@3)        
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
FI (133211@1)could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

BbMake (x1333x@1)me up dress me up
EbFeed (x43121@3)me a big old shot
BbOf (x1333x@1)embalming fluid highballs
FSo (133211@1)I don't start to rot
BbNow (x1333x@1)take me to McGreevy's
EbI (x43121@3)wanna buy one final round
FThat (133211@1)cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket
FThen (133211@1)hurry up and suck 'em down

BbIf (x1333x@1)there's a god the girls you loved
EbWill (x43121@3)all come walking through the door
Bb (x1333x@1)                                    FMaybe (133211@1)they'll feeld bad for me and this stiff will finally score
BbYou've (x1333x@1)got the bed already
EbAnd (x43121@3)the nerve and courage too
FCause (133211@1)I've be slugging from
FA (133211@1)stash of Desi Queally's 1980s
FBathtub (133211@1)brew

Repeat Chorus--

Spread my ashes all about
Dump the sucker out
Toast me for a while
I'm going out in style
