[Verse 1]
D
Someday when it's all over,
G D
And they come to carry me.
And you're walkin' slow and wearin' black
E7 A
With the rest of the family.
D
And the choir stands to sing a song,
G D
Make sure it's one of mine.
D
I had a few more tunes
D
I wanted to write,
E7 A D
But I ran out of time.
[Chorus]
D G D
Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun.
E7 A
Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.
D G D
One I wrote for mama, and a couple still aren't through.
D E7 A D
I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
[Verse 2]
D
That day when it's all over,
G D
And you're settin' all alone.
They'll come and ask you what you want.
E7 A
To have written on my stone.
D
Tell'em when I was born and died,
G D
The year and the day,
D
And if there's room for something more
E7 A D
Here's what you can say.
[Chorus 2]
D G D
Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun.
E7 A
Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.
D G D
One he wrote for his mama, and never finished two or three
D E7 A D
He lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me
[Chorus]
D G D
Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun.
E7 A
Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.
D G D
One I wrote for mama, and a couple still aren't through.
D E7 A D
I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
[Outro]
D E7 A D
I lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
