[Chorus]
D A G D A Bm
when I die, lay me down at the stream
A D G
by the tree with the deepest roots
D A G D A Bm
bury my body in blue jeans
A G D G D
and a pair of my leather boots
[Verse 1]
G D G D
maybe sing a song, maybe carry a rose
G D A G
maybe listen for the wind on the day it blows
G D G D
don't tell em you love me if you broke my heart
G D A G
leave the flowers above me now don't tear them apart
[Chorus]
D A G D A Bm
when I die, lay me down at the stream
A D G
by the tree with the deepest roots
D A G D A Bm
bury my body in blue jean
A G D G D
and a pair of my leather boots
[Verse 2]
G D G D
take my guitar from the empty hall
G D A G
don't let it hang from some rich mans wall
G D G D
that piece of wood is how I learned to pray
G D A G
just find some hands to play it everyday
[Verse 3]
G D
take my body down main street
G D
take me by my old school
G D A G
toast my name at the bar where we used to shoot pool
G D G D
take me past the graveyard where my family lay
G D A G
I wanna be by the water on that final day.
[Chorus]
D A G D A Bm
when I die, lay me down at the stream
A D G
by the tree with the deepest roots
D A G D A Bm
bury my body in blue jeans
A G D G D
and a pair of my leather boots
D A G D A Bm
I said, bury my body in blue jeans
A G D
and a pair of my leather boots
G D
my leather boots
G D
my leather boots
