Give Me My Flowers While I'm Living chords by Lester Flatt And Earl Scruggs

Chords with lyrics

C majorC                G7G7
In this world today while we're living

                  C majorC
Some folks say the worst of us they can

                FF
But when we are dead and in our caskets

   C majorC        G7G7       C majorC
They always slip some lilies in your hand


                    G7G7
Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living

               C majorC
And let me enjoy them while I can

                    FF
Please don't wait till I'm ready to be buried

  C majorC       G7G7      C majorC
And then slip some lilies in my hand

                  G7G7
In this world is where we need our flowers

              C majorC
A augmentedA kind word to help us get along

                    FF
If you can't give me flowers while I'm living

   C majorC      G7G7         C majorC
Then please don't throw them when I'm gone


                    G7G7
Won't you give me my flowers while I'm living

               C majorC
And let me enjoy them while I can

                    FF
Please don't wait till I'm ready to be buried

  C majorC       G7G7      C majorC
