1.
E                                A.           E
When the last breath of life is gone from my body
                                B7
And my lips are as cold as the sea
         E.                      A.          E
When my friends gather round for my farewell party
      B7.                  E
Won't you pretend you love me
(Chorus)
A.                                    E
There,ll be flowers from those who'll cry when I'm gone
                                 B7
And leave you in this old world alone
  E.                      A.          E
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
  B7.                          E
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone
(Break) E, A, E
2.
      E.               A.          E
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you
                                   B7
Till my life on this old world is though
           E                 A.           E
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
     B7.                 E
But I'll go away lovein' you
(Chorus)
