Verse 1:
           G
On the day I die
           C             G
You better dance, don't cry
G             Em           G
Baby, I'll be leaving on a high
G
On the day I die

         C              G
Find the keys to my old car
C                  G
Pray it starts and take it for a drive
         Em
Roll the windows down
         C
Turn the music up
               G
Start singing (Woah, woah)
        Em
And get lost in a song
    C                   D
And take the wrong road home
              C
Like I always used to


Chorus:
         Em
If I did one thing right
       C
It was you and I
       G
Oh, I loved you
      C      G
I'll always love you

           Em
So play it loud all night
       C
If I'm not by your side
         G
I'm up above you
      C      G
I'll always love you

           Em    D     C
I've had a good, good life
             Em     D     C
So, darling, dance, don't cry
             G
On the day I die


Verse 2:
G
On the day I die
       C               G
I want nothing left unspoken
  C             G                Em
I can't rely on hoping that you know
            G
So dry your eyes

               C             G
'Cause I don't plan on dying yet
     C
Just take my hand
      Em
How I lucky I am
    C           G
The only life I get

         Em   C   G
I get to hold you close
         C      Em   C
With the lights down low
               G
And dance real slow (Woah, woah)
         Bm
When you hear this song

C
And when I'm gone
  D                C
I know that you'll know


Chorus:
         Em
If I did one thing right
       C
It was you and I
       G
Oh, I loved you
      C     G
I'll always love you

           Em
So play it loud all night
           C
If I'm not by your side
         G
I'm up above you
     C       G
I'll always love you

           Em    D    C
I've had a good, good life
             Em      D    C
So, darling, dance, don't cry
             G
On the day I die
             Em        D     G
On the day I die (Woah, woah)

 G
(Woah, woah)
                         Em             C
On the day, on the day I die, oh (Woah, woah)
 G
(Woah, woah)
