[Intro]
C F Em Dm G
[Verse 1]
Ah, I can see them Cnow
Clutching a handkercFhief
And bFmlowing me a kGiss
Discreetly asking hCow Em C
How come he died so yCoung
Or was he very oFld
Is the bFmody still waG7rm
Is it alGready coEld E7 E
All doors are open Amwide
They grope around iEmnside
My C7desk, my drawers, my Ftrunk
There's Fmnothing left to Emhide
Some love letters are D#dim7there
And an old photoDmgraph
They've laid my poor soul Gbare
And all they do is Claugh
Ha, ha, ha, hEma, ha - ha, ha, hCa!
[Verse 2]
Ah, I can see themC all
So formal and so Fstiff
FmLike a sergeant-at-Garms
At the policeman's CballEm C
And everybody's Cpushing
To be the first in Fline
Their Fmhearts upon their G7sleeves
GLike a ten-cent valentEineE7 E
The old women are Amthere
Too old to give a Emdamn
They C7brought along the Fkids
Who Fmdon't know who I Emam
They're thinking about the D#dim7price
Of my funeral bouDmquet
What they're thinking isn't Gnice
For now they'll have to Cpay
Ha, ha, ha, Emha, ha - ha, ha, Cha
[Verse 3]
Oh, I see all of Cyou
All of my phony Ffriends
Who can't wait till it Fmends
Who Gcan't wait till it's Cthrough Em C
Oh, I see all of Cyou
You've been laughing all these Fyears
And now all that you have Fmleft
Are a Gfew crocodile EtearsE7 E
Ah, you don't even Amknow
That you're entering your Emhell
As you C7leave my cemeFtery
And you Fmthink you're doing Emwell
With that one who's at your D#dim7side
You're as proud as you canDm be
Ah, she's going to make you Gcry
But not the way you cried for Cme
Ha, ha, ha, Emha, ha - ha, ha, Cha
[Verse 4]
Ah, I can see me nCow
So cold and so alFone
As the Fmflowers slowly die
In my fGield of little bCones Em C
Ah, I can see me Cnow
I can see me at the Fend
Of this Fmvoyage that I'm G7on
Without a lGove, without a fEriend E7 E
Now all this that IAm see
Is not what I deEmserve
They C7really have a Fnerve
To Fmsay these things to Emme
No, girls, just bread and wD#dim7ater
All your money you must Dmsave
Or there'll be nothing left for Gus
When you're dead and in your gCrave
Ha, ha, ha, Emha, ha - ha, ha, Cha! C#(b5) C
