[Intro]

Eb Bb Gm Eb D Gm

[Verse 1]

Eb Bb F Gm

Well I’m in such a terrible state

Eb Bb F

And my country’s just like me

Eb Bb F Gm

Well I can’t afford to live in this place

Eb Bb F

And I can’t afford to leave

Bb F Gm

But my friends all say that it’s a shame

Eb Bb F

And they just can’t understand why

Eb Bb Gm

Oh, but if I don’t make it before I die, then I

Eb D Gm

Just ain’t gonna die

[Verse 2]

Eb Bb F Gm

Well, I’ve been travelin' around the world

Eb Bb F

And there’s nowhere I ain't been

Eb Bb F Gm

And everywhere goes by so fast

Eb Bb F

And I don’t know what I've seen

Bb F Gm

And they push me 'round on a wild goose chase

Eb Bb F

By land or sea or sky

Eb Bb Gm

Oh, but if I don’t make it before I die, then I

Give me a bottle of wine

Get me out of my mind

I don’t wanna think

Eb Bb F Gm

When I close my weary eyes

Eb Bb F

I think that it’s the end

Eb Bb F Gm

But it’s only then that I realize

Eb Bb F

That I’m my own best friend

Bb F Gm

There’s another day and another chance

Eb Bb F

To put sixpence in the pie

Eb Bb Gm

Oh, and if I don’t find it before I die, then I

Eb D Gm

Just ain’t gonna die

Eb Bb Gm

No, if I don’t find it before I die, then I

Eb D Gm

Just ain’t gonna die

No, if I don’t find it before I die, then I
