Dm F - C - G - Dm - F - C - Bm - ADmI got dead man's rod deFad man's reel
CDead man's tuxedo with a Dmlived in feel
CDead man's desk and a deaDmd man's chair
GNo I ain't dead yet, but I'm getting Dmthere
DmFrom a dead man's closet I gotF a dead man's belt
CA pair of bedroom slippers
DmWorn out was how they felt
CAnd an old tweed jacket wDmith patched elbows
GDress rehearsal in a dead man's clotDmhes
FYeah I walked a mile in a deCad man's shoes
GPaid off a dead man's debts, and alDml his union dues
FSlept with a dead man's widow, took iCn a dead man's kid
BmWhatever I could was alAl I did.
Dm - F - C - Dm - C - Dm - G - Dm (Instrumental)
DmI wore a dead man's pants, with a F dead man's shirt
Ctried all of it on, hell it couldDmn't hurt
CClothes make the man, so it's beeDmn said
GBut a man sports a shroud when he's buried and heDm's dead
DmTried a dead man's hat on and it hFurt my head
CReplayed an outgoing message, the lasDmt words he said
CI got a dead man's watch ain't nDmo big crime
GI ain't dead yet, I got a little more tDmime
FI read a dead man's will, cashed Ca dead man's cheque
GTied a dead man's neck tie round my nDmeck
FI wrecked a dead man's car, I sank aC dead man's boat
BmI said a dead man's pray another deAad man wrote
DmPlayed a dead man's guitar, sang aF dead man's song
CI guess you'll starting to wonder howDm long will this go on
CIt's almost over, when its sung done Dmand said
GI'll sleep dream and die in a dead mDman's bed
