🎸 Verse:
         Bm7                     G                     D
When the long Cadillacs and the people in black have scattered
          Bm7                 G                       D
And I'm a way up high in the sky between Aretha and Haggard
             Bm7
If you wanna honor my memory
 G                              D
Tip the cover band for me and tell 'em play my favorite songs
     Bm7                       G                  D
Everybody's gonna die but the music plays on and on and on

Bm7      G
Hey now save them roses
 D
Got me a garden where I'm going
Bm7              G
Way up with the saints and crazies
D
I can't push up my own daisies

Bm7                              G
You can fill the church but I'd rather you not
D
Go find a bar with an old juke box
    Bm7                              G
And keep the lights blinking on the radio tower

D                           Bm7    G    D
Buy records in lieu of flowers


🎸 Verse:
        Bm7                    G                     D
I got a one way ticket to the ride to the Promised Land
           Bm7                         G                        D
And if I'm lucky John and George will let me play bass in the band
             Bm7                     G                 D
So don't you spend too much of your money on my headstone
            Bm7              G                       D
Just buy an old guitar or a brand new pair of headphones

Oh come on

Hey now save them roses

Buy records in lieu of flowers

When the good songs end

Rewind 'em. rewind 'em
