*CAPO ON 2ND FRET - Standard Tuning*

G                 C        G
Old John from his deathbed cried:
 C            G           C         D
"Think I will wait 'til tomorrow to die
G               C        G
Sun is shining, birds do sing
C             G         D
This, sir, is no day to go"
Up and out the door


CHORUS:
           C           G
I've had a life that's full
     C                  G
Everyone's been good to me
    C           G
So fire up that fiddle, boy
    Am               D
And give me one last drink
         C         G
When the sun comes up
       C               G
I will leave without a fight
        C        D      G
But the world is mine tonight



Took young Molly by the hand
Spun her 'round and back again
Clicked his heels, bowed his head
Never a tear in his eye
Carried on 'til five

(Chorus)

Bridge:
    D                   C      G
So raise a glass to the dear departed...
          D                    C      G
Won't you raise a glass to the dear departed...
   D                    C      Am     G
So raise a glass to the dear departed ones

Room was full of all his friends
Never a funeral, this was the end
Drank to all who lent their hand
Everyone drank to John

I've had a life that's full
Everyone's been good to me
So fire up that fiddle, boy
And give me one last drink
When the sun comes up
I will leave without a trace
But the world is mine today

[End]
