     Bb                       Eb            F 
I've seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles 
Bb                           Ebm            Eb 
Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles 
Bb                                 Eb                F 
I've caused some great concern and told one too many lies 
Bb                                    F 
And now I see the world through these sad, old, jaded eyes 

Bb                             Eb 
So what if I threw a party and all my friends were there? 
Bb                         F 
Acquaintances, relatives, the girls who never cared 
Bb                                         Eb 
You'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a big line out the door 
F 
Side by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby 'Orr 
Bb 
I'd invite the Flannigans 
Eb 
Replace the window you smashed out 
Bb                           F 
I'd apologize the Sluggo for pissing on his couch 
Bb                           Eb 
I'll see Mrs. McAuliffe and so many others soon 
F 
Then I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room 

Bb                              Eb 
So what if I threw a party and invited Mayor Menino? 
Bb 
He'd tell you to get a permit 
F 
Well this time Tom I don't think so 
Bb 
It's a neighborhood reunion 
Eb 
But now we'd get along 
F 
Van Morrison would be there and he'd sing me one last song 
Bb                                    Eb 
With a backup band of bass players to keep us up all night 
Bb 
Three handsome four string troubadours 
F 
And Newton's own Fat Mike 
Bb                                    Eb 
I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz 
F 
But there's a back up in the bathroom 
F 
Cause the Badger's got the shits 


Bb Eb You may bury me with an enemy in Mount Calvary Bb F You can stack me on a pyre and soak me down with whiskey Bb Eb Roast me to a blackened crisp and throw me in a pile F I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style Bb Eb You can take my urn to Fenway spread my ashes all about Bb Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach F And dump the sucker out Bb Eb Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while F I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
Bb Make me up dress me up Eb Feed me a big old shot Bb Of embalming fluid highballs F So I don't start to rot Bb Now take me to McGreevy's Eb I wanna buy one final round F That cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket F Then hurry up and suck 'em down Bb If there's a god the girls you loved Eb Will all come walking through the door Bb F Maybe they'll feeld bad for me and this stiff will finally score Bb You've got the bed already Eb And the nerve and courage too F Cause I've be slugging from F A stash of Desi Queally's 1980s F Bathtub brew Chorus Spread my ashes all about Dump the sucker out Toast me for a while I'm going out in style
