"My Last Refrain"

Here is a fun little song about funerals:
[SONG]
{t:My Last Refrain}
{st:by, James McCormick, Feb. 10, 2007}

[G]Viking chiefs went floating off u-[C]pon the ebbing tide
[D]Flaming ships of treasure sailing [C]to the other [G]side
[G]Pharaoh he got pickled be-[C]fore he was entombed
WIth [D]lots of golden objects piled in-[C]to a tiny [D]room  [D7]
. . . .
[G]Roman emperors were laid a-[C]top a funeral pyre
With [D]massive toga parties featuring [C]optional at-[G]tire
Ne-[G]anderthals were curled up with [C]flowers and shiny stones
With [D]big ol' rocks piled up on top so [C]critters couldn't gnaw their [G]bones
{soc}
[G7]Ohhhh . . . . Just [C]have a big ol' party when I've [G]sung my last refrain
[C]Please don't spend no money on my [D]wrinkly old remains  [G7]
The [G]only precious stuff I got are [C]friends and family
So [D]have a get-together and [C]hoist a drink for [D]me!  [D7]
{eoc}
[G]Mayan kings had big send-offs with [C]human sacrifice
Ac-[D]cording to their customs it [C]must have been quite [G]nice
[G]European kings and queens get [C]Pomp and Circumstance
But [D]I don't need a big parade, I'm [C]not so fancy [D]pantsed  [D7]
. . . .
[G]Czars and Popes and Presidents get [C]monuments of rock
So [D]pilgrims and the curious un-[C]to these sites can [G]flock
Don't [G]plant me under a headstone or be-[C]hind a metal plate
Just [D]notify my creditors that it's [C]just too bloody [G]late
{soc}
[G7]Ohhhh . . . . Just [C]have a big ol' party when I've [G]sung my last refrain
[C]Please don't spend no money on my [D]wrinkly old remains  [G7]
The [G]only precious stuff I got are [C]friends and family
So [D]have a get-together and [C]hoist a drink for [D]me!  [D7]
{eoc}
[G]Divvy up my stuff if it can [C]be of any use
But [D]most of it is prob'ly junk, just [C]dusty ol' re-[G]fuse
[G]Donate what's left over to some [C]worthy charity
And [D]pile rest out by the curb for the [C]city to haul a-[D]way  [D7]
. . . .
[G]Have a lot of beer on hand, and some [C]munchies would be good
[D]Sing and laugh and carry on, an-[C]noy the neighbor-[G]hood
[G]Reminisce a little bit 'bout the [C]happy guy I was
But [D]don't do nothin' fancy please [C]simply be-[G]cause . . . .
{soc}
[G7]Ohhhh . . . . Just [C]have a big ol' party when I've [G]sung my last refrain
[C]Please don't spend no money on my [D]wrinkly old remains  [G7]
The [G]only precious stuff I got are [C]friends and family
So [D]have a get-together and please [C]hoist a drink for [G]me!
{eoc}
