I found a wrong version of this song in the archive, so
I give my own. This is transcribed from a bootleg
recording made when CTD came to Italy some years ago, so
it might be a bit different from the original.

G C G D
I’m still young, but I know my days are numbered
C G Em D
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on
G C G D
But a time will come when these numbers have all ended
C G Em D
And all I’ve ever seen will be forgotten
C G
Won’t you come
C G D Em C D
To my funeral when my days are done
C G
Life’s not long
C G D Em C D
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you’ll gather round
C D G
As I am lowered into the ground
G C Em D
When my coffin is sealed and I’m safely six feet under
Perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me
When they pause to consider all my blunders
I hope they won’t be too quick to begrudge me
Won’t you come
To my funeral when my days are done
Life’s not long
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you’ll gather round
As I am lowered into the ground
G C Em D
C G Am G/B
If I should die before I wake up
C G Am G/B
I pray that the lord my soul will take but
Em D C G Am D
My body, my body, that’s your job
I can’t be sure where I’m headed after death
To heaven to hell or beyond to the great vast
But if I can I would like to meet my maker
There’s one or two things I’d sure like to ask
Won’t you come
To my funeral when my days are done
Life’s not long
And so I hope when I am finally dead and gone that you’ll gather round
As I am lowered into the ground
G C Em D
