DmDm           FF
I got dead man's rod dead man's reel
C majorC            DmDm
Dead man's tuxedo with a lived in feel
C majorC            DmDm
Dead man's desk and a dead man's chair
G+G                  DmDm
No I ain't dead yet, but I'm getting there

DmDm              FF
From a dead man's closet I got a dead man's belt
C majorC
A augmentedA pair of bedroom slippers
DmDm
Worn out was how they felt
C majorC            DmDm
And an old tweed jacket with patched elbows
G+G                  DmDm
Dress rehearsal in a dead man's clothes

FF              C majorC
Yeah I walked a mile in a dead man's shoes
G+G                 DmDm
Paid off a dead man's debts, and all his union dues
FF                  C majorC
Slept with a dead man's widow, took in a dead man's kid
B minorBm           A augmentedA
Whatever I could was all I did.

DmDm - FF - C majorC - DmDm - C majorC - DmDm - G+G - DmDm (Instrumental)

DmDm                FF
I wore a dead man's pants, with a dead man's shirt
C majorC                DmDm
tried all of it on, hell it couldn't hurt
C majorC                DmDm
Clothes make the man, so it's been said
G+G                        DmDm
But a man sports a shroud when he's buried and he's dead

DmDm                FF
Tried a dead man's hat on and it hurt my head
C majorC                  DmDm
Replayed an outgoing message, the last words he said
C majorC                DmDm
I got a dead man's watch ain't no big crime
G+G                   DmDm
I ain't dead yet, I got a little more time

FF                C majorC
I read a dead man's will, cashed a dead man's cheque
G+G                  DmDm
Tied a dead man's neck tie round my neck
FF                  C majorC
I wrecked a dead man's car, I sank a dead man's boat
B minorBm                 A augmentedA
I said a dead man's pray another dead man wrote

DmDm                FF
Played a dead man's guitar, sang a dead man's song
C majorC                  DmDm
I guess you'll starting to wonder how long will this go on
C majorC                  DmDm
It's almost over, when its sung done and said
G+G                  DmDm
I'll sleep dream and die in a dead man's bed
