verse 1 

D 
Someday when it's all over, 
         G             D 
And they come to carry me. 
           Bm                    
And you're walkin' slow and  wearin' black 
         Em               A 
With the rest of the family. 
D 
And the choir stands to sing a song, 
     G                D 
Make sure it's one of mine. 
         Bm 
I had a few more tunes  

I wanted to write, 
    Em     A     D 
But I ran out of time.

D                       G                 D 
Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun. 
                 Bm                 Em         A 
Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one. 
D                           G                   D 
One I wrote for mama, and a couple still aren't through. 
D                  Bm                    Em      A        D 
I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you. 

verse 2 

     D       
That day when it's all over, 
           G              D 
And you're settin' all alone. 
        Bm 
They'll come and ask you  what you want. 
        Em            A 
To have written on my stone. 
D                   
Tell'em when I was born and died, 
    G            D 
The year and the day, 
    Bm           
And if there's room for something more 
Em          A       D    
Here's what you can say.

D                        G                  D 
Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun. 
                                    Em           A 
Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one. 
D                                    G               D 
One he wrote for his mama, and never finished two or three 
D                Bm                    Em      A         D 
He lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me
