A nephew once asked me when he was quite young 
D                  G        C 
Who dies? I said, "Everyone dies" 
G                  C              G 
No use denying it, one day you're done 
D            G 
Oh, everyone dies 


C           G               D        G 
Princes and paupers there's no one immune 
       C            G            D 
And no one who'll escape their demise 
         G           C                            G 
So you'd better make most of each day that you're given 
    D        G 
Oh, everyone dies

    G 
Now people have pondered this time and again 
D         G        C 
Who dies? Everyone dies 
      G                              C        G 
We suspect that we're more than mere mortal remains 
D            G 
Oh, everyone dies 


C            G                D             G 
Wise men and prophets they've all had their say 
       C         G        D 
On the nature of our afterlives 
       G               C                               G 
But in case there's no beer there, we'll have one more round 
    D        G 
Oh, everyone dies

          G 
Now, your time may be short or your time may be long 
D         G        C 
Who dies? Everyone dies 
         G                  C              G 
But it's going to happen as sure as you're born 
D            G 
Oh, everyone dies 


C             G           D           G 
Friends and relations and all we hold dear 
         C           G         D 
Will one day pass to the other side 
        G        C                             G 
So we'd better embrace them as long as they're here 
    D        G 
Oh, everyone dies
