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
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 D G#m
And he�s gone on to the next
A Am G#
I�d never seen him wear a tie
C#m F# F# G#
But he looked so natural, almost lifelike
A Am G#
The preacher spoke, his mother cried
C#m F#
When he said �Son, you may now kiss the bride�
Everyone cheered, I thought how odd
I didn�t understand
Why with champagne and cake we celebrate
The death of a single man

So many flowers, he was so loved
Prior to the bride
As a matter of fact
The maid of honor should be disqualified
To all his friends, it�s a wake-up call
If it happened to him
It can happen to us all
Nothing says it�s over man
Like a bad 80�s cover band
How can we dance to My Sharona
At the death of a single man
He was so young
So full of dreams
Before the day he fell
Now he�s gone on to a better place
Or possibly to hell
Now here we are, seems so unfair
It�s poker night and there�s one empty chair
So many things we�re gonna miss
His happy smile and that great laugh of his
I think of him in the afterwife, life
I guess all good things must end
So with Jack and Coke, we�ll make a toast
To the death of a single man
