[Verse 2]
G D7 G
You know ain’t I never had no easy occupation
G7
Hard work's all that I ever knew
C G
It's a fact I ain't got a thing now to show for it
D7 G
All the misery that life has put me through
G D7 G
Yeah but a voice down deep in my guts keeps on screaming
C
John you been going too long now to stop
C G
I've spent my whole life down on the bottom
D7 G
But by the grace of God I'm gonna go out on the top
[Chorus]
D7 G
Yeah don't bury me till I'm ready
G7
Don't tell me that I'm gonna be missed
C G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit in your eye

And I ain't going out like this
[Chorus]
D7 G
I ain’t gonna let you bury me till I’m ready
G7
Don't tell me that I'm gonna be missed
C G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit right in your eye
D7 G
And I ain't going out like this
[Outro]
D7 G
I ain’t gonna let you bury me till I’m ready
G7
I ain’t gonna list the things that I won’t do
C G
Might as well get it straight I’m still in good shape
D7 G
Until I’m gone you can bet I’m gonna do what I want to
D7 G
Hey, hey I better not catch you tryin to bury me til I’m ready
G7
And everytime you tell me you lie and say I’ll be missed
C G
Don't wave me goodbye son I'll spit right in your eye
D7 G
And I ain't going out like this
