Hundred Dollar Funeral chords by Porter Wagoner

H U N D R E D  D O L L A R  F U N E R A L         CAPO on 1


C
With one nickel in his pocket and a pack of cigarettes.
            D
There were no tears of sorrow, no tears of regret.
         C
In a plain wooden casket, the county laid him away.
           G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.

        G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.
        D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.
           C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.
         G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.

C
No pretty marble headstone, not one friend came.
            D
He was lowered by four strangers that didn't know his name
        C
A loser on this earth, a debt so many must pay.
           G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.


        G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.
        D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.
           C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.
         G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.
