like nobody sits anymore

I'd never hear the end of it

Seagram's in a coffee cup

Sharecropper eyes,
D7sus4
Am7
C6
D7sus4
and the hair almost all gone
Am7
When she was drunk,
C6
D7sus4
she made cancer jokes
Am7

D7sus4
Made up her own doctors' notes
Am7

D7sus4
surrounded by her family, I saw
Am7
C6
D7sus4
that she was dying alone

And she'd get high and sing along

Gsus2
Am7
She don't have a voice to sing with now

Gsus2
We burn these joints in effigy

Gsus2
I buried her a thousand times,
C6
G/B

given up my place in line

Am7
But I don't give a damn about that now
Fadd9
Gsus2
There's one thing that's real clear to me
C6
G/B

No one dies with dignity
Fadd9
Gsus2
We just try to ignore the elephant
Am7
somehow
Fadd9
Gsus2
We just try to ignore the elephant
Am7
somehow
Fadd9
Gsus2
We just try to ignore the elephant
