Fancy Funeral chords by Lucinda Williams

Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice


Capo I

G+G                        G+G
Some think a fancy funeral will be worth every cent
 G+G         C majorC            C majorC
But every dime or nickel is money better spent
C majorC          G+G            G+G
Better spent on groceries or covering the bills
G+G           C majorC    E minorEm       G+G
Instead of little luxuries and unnecessary frills

G+G                    G+G
Lovely yellow daffodils and lacy pillow fringe
  G+G      C majorC           C majorC
Pretty little angels for everyone to see
C majorC       G+G           G+G
Lily of the valley and long black limousines
G+G              C majorC      E minorEm           G+G
It's three or four months' salaries just to pay for all those things

(Solo)

G+G                            G+G
So don't buy a fancy funeral, it's not worth it in the end
G+G           C majorC                   C majorC
Goodbyes can still be beautiful without the money that you spend
 C majorC           G+G                  G+G
There's no amount of riches that will bring back what you've lost
G+G         C majorC    E minorEm   (NC)     G+G
To satisfy your wishes, no way to justify the cost
