[Intro]
Em    Am     G B7 C (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
Somewhere down the road,
               Am
Well there's a ditch or there's a hole
               G                   B7               Em
That marks the spot where you will lie when you are cold.
            Em
And you can run and you can hide,
            Am
And you can bitch and you can whine,
           G     B7       C
But you'll never save your life.
 
 
[Chorus]
G               Am     G           Am
  When you meet death,   be out of breath,
    C                     B7
And say you're pleased to see him because you're tired.
 
[Turnaround]
Em    Am     G B7 C (x2)
Em
 
 
[Verse 2]
            Em
Now you can go down with the wreck
           Am
Or you can scurry from the deck
               G                B7            Em
But there's no way to save your skinny little neck,
            Em                                 Am
And you can pray to who you please and you can fall down on your knees,
         G         B7        C
But your feet will still get wet.
 
 
[Chorus/Bridge]
G               Am     G           Am
  When you meet death,   be out of breath,
    C                     B7                     F
And say you're pleased to see him because you're tired
                                    C
Of wondering how much time you have left,
                                   Bb
Of worrying that you're no good at chess,  It's your funeral anyway;
Am     G    F                Am   G   F   D
Choose your game, then let's play.
 
 
[Solo]
Em    Am     G B7 C
Em    Am     G B7 C
                    Yeeeaaah!
 
[Chorus/Outro]
G               Am     G           Am
  When you meet death,   be out of breath,
    C                     B7
And say you're pleased to see him
               C                B7
In fact you're waiting for this meeting,
         C                B7
And well frankly his time-keeeping
         Am          D
Leaves a lot to be desired,
   C                B7                 Em     Em/G  Em/F#  Em/F  Em
So tell that hooded huckster that he's fired.
 
[Outro]
