[Intro]
            
For when I die

            
 and when Iʼm 

     
ashes
             
And no more so

         
ngs I can repe

   
at
           
Whoeverʼs sing

            
inʼ at my fune

  
ral
           
Had better lea

            
rn to move the

       
ir feet

[Verse 1]
            
Cuz when I die

            
 right around 

  
40
            
And when my fu

           
se has reached

       
 its end
          
You best belie

              
ve weʼll all b

         
e drinkinʼ
              
Now donʼt ask 

         
why but maybe 


“when”

[Bridge]
         
Some people cr

              
oak it and the

       
n everyone cho

              
kes on bitter 

           
tears "oh lord

            
 whyʼd he have

    
 to go?"
         
But when I str

              
oll I think we

         
ʼll all probab

   
ly know that I

 was
      
Due any time I

 mean you canʼ

t live that ha

rd for long

[Chorus]
           
So when I die,

             
 and when Iʼm 

      
buried
              
Come watch me 

         
sink into the 

       
ground
            
Forget the dir

            
t, just drain 

        
a bottle
            
And if they as

           
k, just say I'

   
ve drowned

[Solo]
        x2

[Verse 2]
            
For when I die

            
 and when itʼs

      
 over
           
And all my fri

            
ends are left 

       
behind
            
I wouldnʼt dou

            
bt that theyʼl

           
l be jealous
              
Theyʼll have t

         
o do more work

      
 than I

[Bridge]
         
Some people cr

              
oak it and the

       
n everyone cho

              
kes on bitter

[Chorus]
           
So when I die 

            
and when Iʼm s

     
ober
            
Thereʼll be mo

           
re stories lef

Take up my pen

           
, and get to s

Puncture your

[Ending]
         
For when I die

 (for when I d

For when I die
