Verse 1:
           G                           C             F   _
A little rough around the edges for a living, chops wood
          G                  C       F       _
A little misheard, a little misunder---stood
    G                   C            F   _
So how do you tell the bad from the good
                 G                            C        F   _
Is it what you learn along the way or do what others would

Verse 2:
          G                       C         F   _
Where we go from here, yeah, I'm not quite sure
        G                                 C      F       _
But be damned if I'm stuck scrubbing the kitchen   floor
         G               C       F   _
Just to fall on my own plastic sword
        G                  C            F  _
All I know is I've got to give it what for


Chorus:
          Am   G/B                C               F
Because when I die, we're gonna shoot my ashes into the sky
  F                        G
Cheers as you watch them fly
            C                       F
Across the valley and through that golden light
     Dm  Am/E  D/F#         G  _
So plea---a----ase, don't cry
        Bb  A  Gm  F    _
Because I---I--I
oh I
          (C)
I lived a good life

Verse 3:
        G                            C         F  _
If you rock up to the church on the very last day
       G                                  C    F    _
And expect to walk straight through the pearly   gates
           G                     C          F   +
Maybe it's all just a little, a little too late
         G                         C              F   _
Better stick to your guns, gotta choose your own fate


Chorus:
          Am   G/B                C               F
Because when I die, we're gonna shoot my ashes into the sky
  F                        G
Cheers as you watch them fly
            C                       F
Across the valley and through that golden light
     Dm  Am/E  D/F#         G  _
So plea---a----ase, don't cry
        Bb  A  Gm  F    _
Because I---I--I
oh I
           C        _
I lived a good life
