Whistle Past The Graveyard Chords

(ver. 1)
Jeffrey Lewis
   G     C          G
I always like to be surprised
                                    C       G
I dont want to be told what happens after I die
                             C              G
Death is like a mystery gift wraped up in a box
                       C                     G 
sent from infinity and stamped with question marks.
F                                 G
Everyone's got theres and I've got mine
                              C               G
people shake it, weigh it, discuss it all the time .
                       C              G
I tend to think theres nothing at all in it
                          C            G
But its cool that I could find out any minute


      G                C                G
And I whistle past the graveyard when I walk
                   C                G
Cause I dont wanna hear the corpses talk
                       C           G
I dont wanna hear them grumble and complain
                          C              G
Or disscuss how much they want to eat my brain
   

      F                        G
and I always kind of like to be surprised
                                  C       G
I dont wanna be told what happens after I die.
                C                 G
no I dont wanna hear the courpses talk
                      C                D
so I whistle past the graveyard when I walk

*whistle to chords G C G,  the rest of the song follows the same basic chord progression*

Well if we lived for ever we'd realy want to find out
But what a relief, we all die, so theres nothing to worry about
Some say that life is empty, some say its meaningless
And some say it isn't such a bad thing if it is
and some say im wrong and that i'll go to hell
But i'd be happy just knowing that there was a point so its just aswell
some people assume that youll suffer there, they just think you're selfish
if I was in hell id be glad knowing that other people are in heaven
it'd make it no so hellish

And I whistle past the graveyard when I walk
Cause I dont wanna hear the corpses talk
but I want black cats to cross my path and I pick up bad pennys
and if theres monsters in my closet then come and get me

and I always kind of like to be suprised
I dont wanna be told what happens after I die.
no I dont wanna hear the courpses talk
so I whistle past the graveyard when I walk.

*whistle to the chords G C G*
