• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Verse 1:
D
thirty pieces of silver
         A                  G
changing hands in a bar downtown
D
thirty years on the minimum wage
        A                       G
but you still carry yourself so proud
           G                  D
you've got eyes to see what's happening
        A           G
you've got legs to run
        G
but you play your guitar right where you are
         A                  G
til your full day's work is done

Chorus:
                A
then you want a jazz funeral
        F                       E
all the drinks on the house all night
     A
jazz funeral
       F
with a good band kicking ass
       E
tough and tight
       E
rocking right
         E
all your good friends having one real good time
     D
good night

Verse 2:
D
well, it's on a stranger's shoulder at closing time
A                  G
that's the way you pray
D
you didn't need to read no book
     A                 G
to figure out what to say
          D                   D
you drink moonshine with Mary Magdalene
A                 G
she forgives your crime
            G
you write a song about letting the good times roll
        A                   G
and how much that hurts sometimes

Chorus:
                A
then you want a jazz funeral

all the drinks on the house all night
     A
jazz funeral
       F
with a good band kicking ass
       E
tough and tight
        E
rocking right
         E
all your good friends having one real good time
     D
good night

                       D
well, they've got your name on a scrap of paper
         A                  G
changing hands in a bar downtown
           D
they don't know who signs their paychecks
        A                   G
and the years just spin on down
    D
you go see your good friend the doorman
   A             G
he nods he understands
              G
no matter how fast you run at last
             A                   G
you've gotta die right where you stand

Chorus:
                A
then you want a jazz funeral

all the drinks on the house all night
