[Chorus]
When I Gdie
When I Gdie
When my C/Gbody & my mind
Are no longer Gmine
[Dialogue 1]
GHere's what I want at my funeral, when I die
C/GPlay "Last Donut of the Night" by J Dilla
I want all my Gfriends there
GEveryone who ever loved me
G& I don't want anyone in black
C/GUnless you had already planned on that
G& I want my family there
I don't mean like my Gmom, my dad, & my sisters
I mean like everyone that supported me, C/Ghelped me
C/GI want everyone to be happy
C/GYou should be happy
You're aliveG  
Unlike poor Alan Mora
Life is scary C/Gbut, death is scarier
We'll be alrightG  
[Chorus]
When I Gdie
When my C/Gbody & my mind
Are no longer Gmine
[Dialogue 2]
G& I don't want to be buried
I'm really C/Gclaustrophobic
& the ashes thing is weird too but
I'd rather bGe ashes
G& when you get those ashes
GSpread them all over the ocean
C/GI really loved the ocean
Probably the only thing I'll eveGr miss
Well besides music, my friends, & my lover
C/G& this isn't a sad song
It's not a song at all
GIt's, it's more like instructions
C/GFor when I die
[Outro]
When I Gdie
When I Gdie
When my C/Gbody & my mind
Are no longer Gmine
