Don't Let Me Die in Florida Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Please don't let me [Em]die in Florida,
I don't care about my name.
If you catch me dying in Daytona

[Interlude 1]
Throw my bed on to a train.
[Em]

[Verse 2]
I was [Em]born in Indian summer,
In the Southern long ago.
Where those dirty streets cry out for rain
And this is what I know.

[Verse 3]
And the [E]rain [Em]came and the holly stopped
Just in time for snow.
And the icey cold filled up my shoes
And this is what I know.

[Verse 4]
Please don't let me [Em]die in Florida,
I don't care about my name.
If you catch me dying in Orlando

[Interlude 2]
Throw my bed on to a train.
[Em]

[Verse 5]
Run [Em]away into water
Find the jams of what was over
Right through my cap
Just as fun as you could tell a thing
I went at home and gave my girl a ring.
I put the highways at [E]a b[Em]lack time down
Turn the ferries into the towns
And those hills give away
just like a wedding gown
[E]I put the highways at [Em]a black
[E]time[Em]
[E][Em][E][Em]
down.

[Verse 6]
I don't [Em]need to see no mirror,
I am never to see my own face,
Just a reflection of somebody
Who's gonna leave without a trace.

[Verse 7]
Oh, [Em]over the hills so gold and proud
Let the night come in and lay my shred
I never been to killer from around here
[E]Maybe [Em]that's where I
should end my days.

[Verse 8]
Please don't let me [Em]die in Florida,
[E]I don't car[Em]e about my nam[E]e.
If you catch me dying [Em]in Orlando
[E]Throw my bed[Em] on to a train.
