Verse 1:
C/G Fmaj7
Did you know when you came out, covered in silver,
C/G Fmaj7
They'd put your bones in a case,
C/G Fmaj7
Did they tell you'd live for 62 years,
C/G Fmaj7
Till the skin fell away from your face
Chorus:
G Fmaj7
I don't know why they've tucked you behind
C/G Fmaj7
The strange taxidermy display
G Fmaj7
I'd move the doors to greet you
C/G Fmaj7
If everything worked out my way
Verse 2:
C/G Fmaj7
I reckon you did a mighty good job,
C/G Fmaj7
Pulling those boats in the cold,
C/G Fmaj7
I wonder how many friends you outlived,
C/G Fmaj7
If any got to see you get old
Chorus:
G Fmaj7
I don't know why they've tucked you behind
C/G Fmaj7
The strange taxidermy display
G Fmaj7
I'd move the doors to greet you
C/G Fmaj7
If everything worked out my way
Refrain:
C/G Fmaj7
Well old Billy I think I do love you,
C/G Fmaj7
You've mastered the passing of time
C/G Fmaj7
If I sat here and watched you forever
G Fmaj7
Would they hang me in there by your side
C/G Fmaj7
Well old Billy I think I do love you,
C/G Fmaj7
You've mastered the passing of time
C/G Fmaj7
If I sat here and watched you forever
G Fmaj7
Would they hang me in there by your side
Chorus:
G Fmaj7
I don't know why they've tucked you behind
C/G Fmaj7
The strange taxidermy display
G Fmaj7
I'd move the doors to greet you
C/G Fmaj7
If everything worked out my way
