 Woke up this morning, put on my slippers
D              D           A    A
 Walked in the kitchen and died
    D         D               G                     G
And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling
    A           A            D    D
and on up in to heaven I did rise
       G                  G           D               D
When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way
    D                D                  A    A
you slipped upon the floor and hit your head
    D              D          G               D
And all the angels say just before you passed away
      D             A                   D   D
these were the very last words that you said

Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes

The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size

Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer

Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here

Give my knees to the needy don't 'cha pull that stuff on me

Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye

The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
