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

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


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


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