Going Out In Style lyrics
[Intro]
F
[Verse]
I've Bbseen a lot of sights and Ebtraveled many Fmiles
BbShook a thousand hands and seEbmen my share of Ebsmiles
BbI've caused some great concern and Ebtold one too many Flies
BbAnd now I see the world through these Fsad, old, jaded eyes
BbSo what if I threw a party and Eball my friends were there?
BbAcquaintances, relatives, tFhe girls who never cared
BbYou'll have a host of rowdy hooligans in a Ebbig line out the door
FSide by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby 'Orr
BbI'd invite the Flannigans
EbReplace the window you smashed out
BbI'd apologize the Sluggo for Fpissing on his couch
BbI'll see Mrs. McAuliffe and sEbo many others soon
FThen I'll say I'm sorry for what I did sleepwalking in her room
BbSo what if I threw a party and iEbnvited Mayor Menino?
BbHe'd tell you to get a permit
FWell this time Tom I don't think so
BbIt's a neighborhood reunion
EbBut now we'd get along
FVan Morrison would be there and he'd sing me one last song
BbWith a backup band of bass players to Ebkeep us up all night
BbThree handsome four string troubadours
FAnd Newton's own Fat Mike
BbI'll be in the can having a smoke with EbGarv and Johnny Fitz
FBut there's a back up in the bathroom
FCause the Badger's got the shits
[Chorus]
BbYou may bury me with an enemy in EbMount Calvary
BbYou can stack me on a pyre and sFoak me down with whiskey
BbRoast me to a blackened crisp and tEbhrow me in a pile
FI could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
BbYou can take my urn to Fenway Ebspread my ashes all about
BbOr you can bring me down to Wolly Beach
FAnd dump the sucker out
BbBurn me to a rotten crisp and Ebtoast me for a while
FI could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
[Bridge]
BbMake me up dress me up
EbFeed me a big old shot
BbOf embalming fluid highballs
FSo I don't start to rot
BbNow take me to McGreevy's
EbI wanna buy one final round
FThat cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket
FThen hurry up and suck 'em down
BbIf there's a god the girls you loved
EbWill all come walking through the door
BbMaybe they'll feeld bad for me and this Fstiff will finally score
BbYou've got the bed already
EbAnd the nerve and courage too
FCause I've be slugging from
FA stash of Desi Queally's 1980s
FBathtub brew
[Chorus]
BbYou may bury me with an enemy in EbMount Calvary
BbYou can stack me on a pyre and sFoak me down with whiskey
BbRoast me to a blackened crisp and tEbhrow me in a pile
FI could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
BbYou can take my urn to Fenway Ebspread my ashes all about
BbOr you can bring me down to Wolly Beach
FAnd dump the sucker out
BbBurn me to a rotten crisp and Ebtoast me for a while
FI could really give a shit - I'm going out in style
Spread my ashes all about
Dump the sucker out
Toast me for a while
I'm going out in style

Going Out In Style lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse]

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

Side by side with Sister Barbara, Chief Wells and Bobby 'Orr

I'd invite the Flannigans

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

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?

He'd tell you to get a permit

Well this time Tom I don't think so

It's a neighborhood reunion

But now we'd get along

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

Three handsome four string troubadours

And Newton's own Fat Mike

Bb Eb

I'll be in the can having a smoke with Garv and Johnny Fitz

But there's a back up in the bathroom

Cause the Badger's got the shits

[Chorus]

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

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

Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach

And dump the sucker out

Bb Eb

Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while

I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

[Bridge]

Make me up dress me up

Feed me a big old shot

Of embalming fluid highballs

So I don't start to rot

Now take me to McGreevy's

I wanna buy one final round

That cheap prick would peel an orange in his pocket

Then hurry up and suck 'em down

If there's a god the girls you loved

Will all come walking through the door

Bb F

Maybe they'll feeld bad for me and this stiff will finally score

You've got the bed already

And the nerve and courage too

Cause I've be slugging from

A stash of Desi Queally's 1980s

Bathtub brew

[Chorus]

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

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

Or you can bring me down to Wolly Beach

And dump the sucker out

Bb Eb

Burn me to a rotten crisp and toast me for a while

I could really give a shit - I'm going out in style

Spread my ashes all about

Dump the sucker out

Toast me for a while

I'm going out in style
