(Verse 1)
Don't bring no (Am)preacher and a long white robe
Don't dress me (Dm)up in Sunday (Am)clothes
Don't talk about (Am)heaven, don't speak my sins
Just tell the (Dm)good Lord to let me (Am)in

(Verse 2)
Tell my (Am)mama I found peace
Tell my (Am)brothers I'm set free
Give my (Dm)baby what I got left
And leave my (Am)bible on the shelf

(Chorus)
And baby, play them (Am)blues at my funeral
Let the (Dm)guitar cry like it's got (Am)soul
Don't sit in (Am)silence, don't tell no lies
Just close your (Dm)eyes and let them steel strings (Am)sigh
So cut me (C)loose and drop me in the (Dm)hole
And play them (Am)blues (Dm)at my funer-(Am)al

(Verse 3)
I closed my (Am)eyes at that county line
Took my (Dm)handle off the bars just one last (Am) time
From dusk 'til (Am)dawn, I lived on the road
But when I'm (Dm)gone don't wait up, honey, I've gone (Am) home

(Verse 4)
Tell my (Am)mama I found peace
Tell my (C)brothers I'm set free
Give my (Dm)baby what I got left
And leave my (Am)bible on the shelf

(Chorus)
And baby, play them (Am)blues at my (C)funeral
Let the (Dm)guitar cry like it's got (Am)soul
Don't sit in (Am)silence, don't tell no (C) lies
Just close your (Dm)eyes and let them steel strings (Am)sigh
So cut me (C)loose and drop me in the (Dm)hole
And play them (F)blues (Am)at my (Dm)funer-(Am)al
