Chords with lyrics

FF

   Bb majorBb            Eb MajorEb      FF
I've seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles
Bb majorBb              EbmEbm      Eb MajorEb
Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles
Bb majorBb                 Eb MajorEb        FF
I've caused some great concern and told one too many lies
Bb majorBb                  FF
And now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes

Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
So what if I threw a party and all my friends were there?
Bb majorBb             FF
Acquaintances, relatives, the girls who never cared
Bb majorBb                     Eb MajorEb
You'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door
FF
Side by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby 'Orr
Bb majorBb
I'd invite the Flannigans
Eb MajorEb
Replace the window you smashed out
Bb majorBb              FF
I'd apologize the Sluggo for pissing on his couch
Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
I'll see Mrs. McAuliffe and so many others soon
FF
Then I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room

Bb majorBb               Eb MajorEb
So what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino?
Bb majorBb
He'd tell you to get a permit
FF
Well this time Tom I don't think so
Bb majorBb
It's a neighborhood reunion
Eb MajorEb
But now we'd get along
FF
Van Morrison would be there and he'd sing me one last song
Bb majorBb                  Eb MajorEb
With a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night
Bb majorBb
Three handsome four string troubadours
FF
And Newton's own Fat Mike
Bb majorBb                  Eb MajorEb
I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz
FF
But there's a back up in the bathroom
FF
Cause the Badger's got the shits

Chorus:
Bb majorBb                Eb MajorEb
You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary
Bb majorBb               FF
You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey
Bb majorBb                 Eb MajorEb
Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile
FF
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
You can take my urn to Fenway spread my ashes all about
Bb majorBb
Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach
FF
And dump the sucker out
Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb
Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while
FF
I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

Bb majorBb
Make me up dress me up
Eb MajorEb
Feed me a big old shot
Bb majorBb
Of embalming fluid highballs
FF
So I don't start to rot
Bb majorBb
Now take me to McGreevy's
Eb MajorEb
I wanna buy one final round
FF
That cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket
FF
Then hurry up and suck 'em down

Bb majorBb
If there's a god the girls you loved
Eb MajorEb
Will all come walking through the door
Bb majorBb                   FF
Maybe they'll feeld bad for me and this stiff will finally score
Bb majorBb
You've got the bed already
Eb MajorEb
And the nerve and courage too
FF
Cause I've be slugging from
FF
A augmentedA stash of Desi Queally's 1980s
FF
Bathtub brew

Repeat Chorus--

Spread my ashes all about
Dump the sucker out
Toast me for a while
I'm going out in style
