(Capo on 3)

Intro.:  | (D)  | (G)  | (Em)  | (A)  |  x 2

I was (D)late for work, had to (G)pull to the side while a (Em)funeral train of (A)cars drove by
With their (D)lights on, it was (G)just my luck, it went (Em)on and on for (A)miles

I kept (D)checkin' my watch, (G)grittin' my teeth, then (Em)suddenly it (A)dawned on me
That who-(D)ever this is, is (G)gonna be missed for a (Em)long, long time, (A) 

(Chorus)
(G) It got me (A)thinking
When it's (D)my time to go, the (G)end of my road I (Em)hope it looks like (A)this
(D)200 cars (G)stretched out as far as the (Em)hearts I touched while I (A)lived
And I (Bm)hope I leave (F#m)half as much (G)love (F#m)be-(Em)hind (A) when it's (D)my time

Inst.:  --- | (G)  | (Em)  | (A) ---

So I (D)followed that last car (G)down to the church, took (Em)off my ball cap, (A)tucked in my shirt
I just (D)had to see what (G)kind of life could (Em)cause such as traffic jam (A)

Heard (D)story after story, people (G)laugh, people cry, it (Em)didn't take long to (A)understand
Why every (D)pew was full, there's a (G)lot of good souls made (Em)better for knowing him (A)

(Chorus)
(G) And now I'm one of (A)them
When it's (D)my time to go, the (G)end of my road I (Em)hope it looks like (A)this
(D)200 cars (G)stretched out as far as the (Em)hearts I touched while I (A)lived
And I (Bm)hope I leave (F#m)half as much (G)love (F#m)be-(Em)hind (A) when it's (D)my time

Inst.:  --- | (G)  | (Em)  | (A) ---

Felt a (Em)hand on my back, turned a-(F#m)round, someone asked, (Bm) "Did you know him (A)well?"
And I said, "Yeah, (G) well enough to know"

When it's (D)my time to go, the (G)end of my road I (Em)hope it looks like (A)this
(D)200 cars (G)stretched out as far as the (Em)hearts I touched while I (A)lived
And I (Bm)hope I leave (F#m)half as much (G)love (F#m)be-(Em)hind (A) when it's (D)my time
(D)Ooh, when it's my time
