Chorus:
    FF            G+G
If I die in the winter send roses
C majorC         FF
In the spring, magnolias
                G+G
If I’m called in the summer or in the fall
FF                    C majorC
Best of all – bring me a wildflower bouquet

Verse:
    FF          G+G
In the dirt and clay don’t lay me down
   C majorC           FF
And stare at a cold lonely hole in the ground
             G+G
When I go to my Maker in smoke and ash
    FF         C majorC
It won’t be your grief I crave

Verse:
    FF       G+G
Your tears will not be necessary
    C majorC          FF
Build a blazing fire, drink something merry
              G+G
When the sparks fly off into the wind
       FF      C majorC
That will be me blowing away

Verse:
FF            G+G
Bury my ashes with the dogs I’ve loved
  C majorC            FF
My faithful companions from God above
              G+G
And ‘neath a sycamore we’ll grow strong
    FF          C majorC
And the roots will bear us away

Verse:
   FF          G+G
If my one true Love should join me there
    C majorC        FF
Mother nature soon will be aware
         G+G
That sycamore will thrum and sing
  FF            C majorC
And we’ll have left it that way.

Verse:
  FF          G+G
So I don’t want you to feel sorry
C majorC         FF
God knows how I despise your pity
              G+G
And I’ll no longer bear the weight of worry
    FF          C majorC
Those angry robes all fall away

Verse:
      FF      G+G
I’ll be singing loud and laughing long
 C majorC           FF
A augmentedA blaze of glory and an untold song

Just bring a wildflower bouquet
