Well he was pushing 80, but he acted 22
F                   C                  G                   Am
He could laugh and drink just like his grandchildren would do
      C          G          Am             C      G       Am
There was square hay on the meadow, second cutting of the year
     F                   C               G               Am
Well his summer work was over once they got the pasture cleared

          C          G       Am               C      G       Am
They were drinkin on the big bluff across the river from the field
        F                C                G               Am
Well he walked up to the edge and threw a stone in and he kneeled
       C          G       Am               C      G    Am
And he looked down at the water, he said boys im going in
          F                C                G            Am
They were cheering when he jumped but he did not come up again

CHORUS

     F             C              G             Am
Well raise another round boys and have another glass
   F             C              G           Am
Be thankful for today knowing it will never last
    F                      C                 G            Am
Still lets leave the world laughing when our eulogies are read
    F             C                G                 Am
May we all get to heaven 'fore the devil knows we're dead
   F              C                G                 Am
May we all get to heaven 'fore the devil knows we're dead

Just a-screaming through the midnight 'til they came down again
