[Intro]
C G D G G
[Verse 1]
C G D G
When he was a boy, just sixteen years,
C G D
Bursting at the elbows, wet behind the ears,
C G D G
Papa called him in and sat him in a chair,
C G D G
Said, "Son, I think it's time you had a suit to wear."
[Chorus]
C G D G
It was his old blue suit, the one he used to wear,
C G D
With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare.
C G D G
He never had much, but he always bought the best,
C G D G
And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest
[Interlude]
C G D G C G D G
[Verse 2]
C G D G
Every Friday evening, driving into town
C G D
In his '37 Chevy, with the top rolled down,
C G D G
Waving at the ladies, he'd give his horn a toot
C G D G
A-sitting there, a-beaming, in his old blue suit
[Chorus]
C G D G
It was his old blue suit, the one he used to wear,
C G D
With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare.
C G D G
He never had much, but he always bought the best,
C G D G
And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest
[Interlude]
C G D G C G D G
[Verse 3]
C G D G
At a wedding or a funeral, a party of a dance
C G D
You'd better brush you jacket, don't forget to press your pants.
C G D G
With polish on his shoes, Vitalis on his hair,
C G D G
He always looked his finest every time he'd wear
[Chorus]
C G D G
His old blue suit, the one he used to wear,
C G D
With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare.
C G D G
He never had much, but he always bought the best,
C G D G
And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest
[Interlude]
C G D G C G D G
[Verse 4]
C G D G
Down at the feed store, only yesterday,
C G D
Why, everyone was talking 'bout how he passed away.
C G D G
When he meets Peter on the golden stair,
C G D G
I guess I don't have to tell you what he'll wear.
[Chorus]
C G D G
He'll wear his old blue suit, the one he used to wear,
C G D
With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare.
C G D G
He never had much, but he always bought the best,
C G D G
And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest
