Hundred Dollar Funeral Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
With one [G]nickel in his
pocket and a pack of cigar[C]ettes
There were no tears of [G]sorrow
no tears of re[D]grets
In a plain wooden [G]casket the
county laid [C]him away
Just a hundred dollar [G]funeral with
no loved [D]ones to [G]pray

[Verse 2]
There [G]must [C]be a mother who
loves him [G]somewhere
Perhaps she [C]had gone home and
was wait[A]ing up [C]there[D]
Where there's no disap[G]pointments
around God's [C]great throne
No hundred dollar [G]funerals
[D]unloved and un[G]known

[Verse 3]
No [G]pretty marble headstone
not [C]one friend came
He was lowered by [G]four strangers
that didn't know [D]his name
A loser [G]on this earth a death
so many must [C]pay
Just a hundred dollar [G]funeral with
no loved ones to pray
There must be [C]a[B][C][G]
[C]mot[A]her...
