[Verse 1]
 
       G                       C           G
On the day that I die, I'll have peace of mind
       D                Em            C
When I tend to my garden and my limbs harden
       G          C/G           G    C/G G C/G G C/G
I will fall, face first, in the dirt

And on the day that I die, I'm with my   funeral band
D7                 Em           C
  On brass we play, with brass I say,
 G            C/G        G     C/G
"Bury me, bury me in the sand"

But today can't be that day
          C                     A/C#
when I've got no dirt and I've got no spade
        G             C/G        G     C/G
I can't bury me, bury me in the sand.
        G             C/G        G     C/G
I can't bury me, bury me in the sand.

And on the day that I die,          in the afternoon
              D                Em        C
Well there's a Sabal palm whose crown I don, singin',
 G        C/G         G         C/G
"Glory, glory, Lord I miss you"

But today can't be that day

when you're so close that I could kiss you
G               C/G           G         C/G
  I say, "Glory glory I can't miss you"
G               C/G           G         C/G
  I say, "Glory glory I can't miss you"
