Capo 2

         D              D7      G            D 
When the last breath of life is gone from my body
       D                       A
And my lips are as cold as the sea
        D               D7        G           D 
When my friends gather 'round for my farewell party
      A                    D
Won’t you pretend you love me


Chorus:
            G                         D
There’ll be flowers from those who’ll cry when I go
    D                        A
And leave you in this world alone
  D                D7     G           D
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
  A                            D
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone

Steel solo


Key change to E
      E         E7     A          E 
Don't be mad at me for wanting to keep you
    E                             B7  
Till my life on this old world is through
          E           E7     A           E
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
    B7                  E 
But I'll go away loving you


Chorus: 
            A                         E
There’ll be flowers from those who’ll cry when I go
    E                            B7
And leave you in this old world alone
  E                E7     A           E
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
  B7                           E
I know you'll be glad when I'm gone


Tagg:
      B7                           A   Am  E
Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm g-o-o-o-one
