John Prine (born October 10, 1946 in Maywood, Illinois-died April 7, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee) was an American country/folk singer-songwriter who has achieved widespread critical (and some commercial) success since the early 1970s.
The son of William Prine and Verna Hamm, his grandfather had played guitar with Merle Travis and he started playing guitar himself at 14 years old. He was a postman for 5 years and spent a couple of years in the army before starting his musical career in the Chicago area.

CCFF Woke up this morning put on my slippers CCGG Walked in the kitchen and died CCFF And oh what a feeling when my soul went through the ceiling GGCC and on up in to heaven I did rise FFC When I got there they did say John it happened this-a-way CCGG you slipped upon the floor and hit your head CCFC And all the angels say just before you passed away CGC these were the very last words that you said
CHORUS: FFCC Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground CCCGG I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around CCFC Throw my brains in a hurricane the blind can have my eyes FCGC The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
CCFF Give my stomach to Milwaukee if they run out of beer CCGG Put my socks in a cedar box just get 'em out'a here CCFF Venus de milo can have my arms Look out I've got your nose FCGC Sell my heart to the junk man and give my love to Rose
CHORUS
CCFF Give my feet to the foot-loose careless fancy free CCGG Give my knees to the needy don't 'cha pull that stuff on me CCFF Hand me down my walkin' cane it's a sin to tell a lie FCGC Send my mouth way down south and kiss my ass good-bye
CHORUS
FCGC The deaf can take both of my ears if they don't mind the size
