[Verse]
C F/C
Well, the music was sad
C G F/C
The widow was all dressed in black and we sang
C G
Told stories all about the good ole days
F/C C
There were hugs to give and a few more tears to cry
F/C C
Then we closed the lid and we gave him one last ride
F/C G
And we laid him in the ground And headed back to town
[Chorus]
Am
There were casseroles and pecan pies
F/C
Mama's sweet tea and beer on ice
C G
Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
Am
Preacher cleared his throat and then he said
F/C
Everybody bow your heads
C G
And just like that everything was blessed
Am G F/C C
So here's to death, dyin' and deviled eggs
[Verse]
C F/C
Yeah such is life
C G F/C
We're all at the mercy of a butter knife on a plate
C G
Checkered table cloth and "I'll Fly Away"
F/C C
Keep in mind that it always ends the same
F/C C
And there's no love like no potluck left to save
F/C G
And they'll lay you in the ground And all head back to town
[Verse]
Am
Those casseroles and pecan pies
F/C
Mama's sweet tea and beer on ice
C G
Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
Am
Preacher cleared his throat and then he says
F/C
Everybody bow your heads
C G
And just like that everything is blessed
Am G F/C C
So here's to death, dyin' and deviled eggs
[Instrumental]
F/C C F/C C G
Am G
If you wanna go to heaven Better have Jesus in your soul
F/C C G
Make damn well sure That you get plenty before you go
[Verse]
Am
Those casseroles and pecan pies
F/C
Mama's sweet tea and beer on ice
C G
Hell of a way to say goodbye I guess
Am
Preacher cleared his throat and then he says
F/C
Everybody bow your heads
C G
And just like that everything is blessed
Am G
Yeah, just like that everything is blessed
Am G F/C C
So here's to death, dyin' and deviled eggs
[Outro]
F/C G
Yeah here's to death And here's to dyin'
C
Gotta love them deviled eggs
