No capo
CCry just a littGle bit, for mFe tonight maCma,
for I was born a hypoGcrit, but someFthings can chaCnge.
When I'm dead and goGne you'll find me somFewhere in GlCory
with a cross on my tomGbstone, and a smFile on my faCce.
CI saw Mary waFlkin' in the mooCnlight, 
walkin' in the garden with a vGail on her heCad.
Runnin' 'round searchin trFyin to find JeCsus
someone in the dark yelled JGesus is deCad.
So CCry just a littlGe bit, for me Ftonight mamCa,
for I was born a hypoGcrit, but someFthings can chaCnge.
When I'm dead and goGne you'll find me somFewhere in GlCory
with a cross on my tomGbstone, and a smFile on my faCce.
Jesus put a cross on my tombGstone, and put a smFile on my faCce.
