Death of a single man (B.Paisley)
[Intro]
E G#m7 A7 B7
E G#m7 F#m B
Remember when we got the news
E C#7 F#m B
Confirming our worst fears
E Fdim A Am
I said he wouldn't make it six months
E B E B
And others gave him a year
G#m7 F#m B
And sure enough last Saturday
E C#7 F#m B
We paid our last respects
E Fdim A Am
He left us here still in this life
E B E G#m
And he's gone on to the next
A Am G#
I'd never seen him wear a tie
C#m F# G#
But he looked so natural, almost lifelike
A Am G#
The preacher spoke, his mother cried
C#m F# B
When he said "Son, you may now kiss the bride"
E G#m7 F#m B
Everyone cheered, I thought how odd
E C#7 F#m B
I didn't understand
[Chorus]
E Fdim A Am
Why with champagne and cake we celebrate
E B E
The death of a single man
G#m7 F#m B
So many flowers, he was so loved
E C#7 F#m B
Prior to the bride
E Fdim A Am
As a matter of fact ,the maid of honor

E B E
should be disqualified
A Am G#
To all his friends, it's a wake-up call
C#m
If it happened to him
F# G#
It can happen to us all
A Am G#
Nothing says it's over man
C#m F# B
Like a bad 80's cover band
[Chorus]
E Fdim A Am
How can we dance to My Sharona
E B E
At the death of a single man
E G#m7 F#m B
He was so young, so full of dreams
E C#7 F#m B
Before the day he fell
E Fdim A Am
Now he's gone on to a better place
E B E
Or possibly to hell
A Am G#
Now here we are, seems so unfair
F# G#
It's poker night and there's one empty chair
A Am G#
So many things we're gonna miss
C#m F# B
His happy smile and that great laugh of his
E G#m7 F#m B
I think of him in the afterwife, life
E C#7 F#m B
I guess all good things must end
[Chorus]
E Fdim A Am
So with Jack and Coke, we'll make a toast
E B E
To the death of a single man
