Verse 1:
Bb
Picture me in the great Southwest
         Eb              Bb
Six guns hot, star on my chest
Bb
I keep the peace the best I can
        Eb           Bb
Life is short I understand
             F                 Eb
You can bury me when I finally fall
               Bb
With boots and all

Verse 2:
Bb
Picture me a riverboat man
       Eb                  Bb
Mississippi the back of my hand
Bb
Taking bets, run boilers hot
               Eb                   Bb
Put the hammer down, see what she's got
               F                  Eb
You'll find my bones in the final mile
          Bb
Wearin' a smile

I ain't a riverboat man

Of a guitar man

Picture me up on a stage

Never one to act my age

We all know the lightning strike
        Eb              Bb
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
         F                   Eb
When I'm gone, sing a lonely song

Bury me with my guitar on

Bb
Picture me in the saddle tall

That sunset a big red burning ball
Bb
Or blowin' steam movin' paddle wheel
          Eb                  Bb
Down that river the seconds I steal
           F               Eb
I'll still sing, long past gone
                             Bb
If you bury me with a guitar on

If you bury me with a guitar on
