Intro: C-G-C-C

 

Ah, we’re (C)going out the same way we came (G)in

You’re (C)going out the (G)same way you came (C)in

 

We were (C)born into this world without a (F)thing

And we (C)leave it just as naked as we (G)came

Ah, you’re (C)going out the same way you came (G)in

Some may (F)spit upon your stone

But you’re (C)going out the (G)same way you came (C)in

Oh they’ll (C)lay you out in all your fancy (F)clothes

And they’ll (C)figure out just who and what you (G)owe

Then the (C)lawyers line their nests

And your (F)kinfolk get the rest
