Please Don't Bury Me

{title: Please Don't Bury Me}

{start_of_chorus}
[G] (But) Please don't bury me down [D] in the cold cold ground
No, I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all [A] around
[D] Throw my brains in a hurricane
And the [G] blind can have my [D] eyes
And the [G] deaf can take [D] both of my ears
If [A] they don't mind the [D] size
{end_of_chorus}

{start_of_verse}
[D] Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they [G] run out of [D] beer
Put my socks in a cedar box just [E7] get 'em out'a [A7] here
[D] Venus de Milo can have my arms
Look [G] out! I've got your [D] nose
[G] Sell my heart to the [D] junk man
And [A7] give my love to [D] Rose

And the [G] blind can have my [D] eyes
And the [G] deaf can take [D] both of my ears

{start_of_verse}
[D] Give my feet to the foot-loose, [G] careless, fancy-[D]free
Give my knees to the needy, don't [E7] pull that stuff on [A7] me
[D] Hand me down my walkin' cane, it's a [G] sin to tell a [D] lie
[G] Send my mouth [D] way down south and [A] kiss my ass good [D] bye
