Dm F
I got dead man's rod dead man's reel
C Dm
Dead man's tuxedo with a lived in feel
C Dm
Dead man's desk and a dead man's chair
G Dm
No I ain't dead yet, but I'm getting there
Dm F
From a dead man's closet I got a dead man's belt
C
A pair of bedroom slippers
Dm
Worn out was how they felt
C Dm
And an old tweed jacket with patched elbows
G Dm
Dress rehearsal in a dead man's clothes
F C
Yeah I walked a mile in a dead man's shoes
G Dm
Paid off a dead man's debts, and all his union dues
F C
Slept with a dead man's widow, took in a dead man's kid
Bm A
Whatever I could was all I did.
Dm - F - C - Dm - C - Dm - G - Dm (Instrumental)
Dm F
I wore a dead man's pants, with a dead man's shirt
C Dm
tried all of it on, hell it couldn't hurt
C Dm
Clothes make the man, so it's been said
G Dm
But a man sports a shroud when he's buried and he's dead
Dm F
Tried a dead man's hat on and it hurt my head
C Dm
Replayed an outgoing message, the last words he said
C Dm
I got a dead man's watch ain't no big crime
G Dm
I ain't dead yet, I got a little more time
F C
I read a dead man's will, cashed a dead man's cheque
G Dm
Tied a dead man's neck tie round my neck
F C
I wrecked a dead man's car, I sank a dead man's boat
Bm A
I said a dead man's pray another dead man wrote
Dm F
Played a dead man's guitar, sang a dead man's song
C Dm
I guess you'll starting to wonder how long will this go on
C Dm
It's almost over, when its sung done and said
G Dm
I'll sleep dream and die in a dead man's bed
