When I Die chords by The Stray Birds

Guitar chords with lyrics

Chorus:
   D      A          G              D A Bm
when I die, lay me down at the stream
                    A           D     G
by the tree with the deepest roots
 D        A      G     D  A Bm
bury my body in blue jeans
                    A       G  D  G  D
and a pair of my leather boots

Verse 1:
  G            D     G             D
maybe sing a song, maybe carry a rose
  G            D       A                 G
maybe listen for the wind on the day it blows
  G            D       G                    D
don't tell em you love me if you broke my heart
 G             D          A                      G
leave the flowers above me now don't tear them apart
Chorus:
 D       A          G             D  A  Bm
when I die, lay me down at the stream
                    A           D  G
by the tree with the deepest roots
 D        A             G  D  A Bm
bury my body in blue jean
                   A      G  D  G  D
and a pair of my leather boots

Verse 2:
 G         D      G            D
take my guitar from the empty hall
 G            D        A               G
don't let it hang from some rich mans wall
 G            D        G                D
that piece of wood is how I learned to pray
 G            D        A              G
just find some hands to play it everyday

Verse 3:
  G                      D
take my body down main street
  G                  D
take me by my old school
  G          D        A                           G
toast my name at the bar where we used to shoot pool
  G         D        G                    D
take me past the graveyard where my family lay
  G          D       A                 G
I wanna be by the water on that final day.

Chorus:
  D      A          G              D A Bm
when I die, lay me down at the stream
                    A           D   G
by the tree with the deepest roots
 D        A             G  D  A Bm
bury my body in blue jeans
                  A       G  D  G  D
and a pair of my leather boots
          D       A        G   D A Bm
I said,  bury my body in blue jeans
                    A        G D
and a pair of my leather boots
      G    D
my leather boots
      G    D
