E B E
Bring my flowers now, while I'm living
A B E
I won't need your love when I'm gone
C#m B
Don't spend time, tears, or money
E A E
On my old breathless body
E B E
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
[Verse 1]
E A E
All the miles cast a long shadow
A B E
I'd take a couple back if I could
A E
I'd have learned to play guitar
B C#m
Tell my daddy more I loved him
A B B7
But I believe, for the most part, I done good
[Verse 2]
E A E
There's always sunrise and rainbows and babies
A B E
And the little things I cherish on my way
C#m B
Even though one day
E A
They'll bury me and Jesse Ray
E B E
I just know we're gonna ride again someday
[Chorus]
A B E
Bring my flowers now, while I'm living
A B E
I won't need your love when I'm gone
C#m B
Don't spend time, tears, or money
E A E
On my ol' breathless body
E B E
Well, if your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
[Verse 3]
E A E
The days are long, but the years are lightning
A B E
They're bright and they will never strike again
A E
I wish I'd been a better friend
B C#m
A better daughter to my mother
A B B7
There's no going back when your back's against the wind
[Verse 4]
E A E
So if you got love, then you're sittin' on a gold mine
A B E
And you can't take it with you when you go
C#m B
So don't wait to help your sister
E A
Forgive your brother and your neighbor
E B E
We all think we've got the time until we don't
[Chorus]
A B E
Bring my flowers now, while I'm living
A B E
I won't need your love when I'm gone
C#m B
Don't spend time, tears, or money
E A E
On my old breathless body
E B C#m
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
E B E
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on
