We went Gout for beers and a couple laughs 
GKnowing full well that every bad joke that D/F#Jimmy told 
Might be his D/F#last
So we Glaughed like the world wadn't at war 
said Gthings to him we never said before 
And hD/F#e teared up as he held up his glass 
He said Gboys if I dont make it Gback
[Chorus]
DHave a beer for me, dont waste no Gtears on me 
On DFriday night sit on the visitors Gside and cheer for the home team
Drive Dmy camarro Gninty miles an hour down red rock road
With Dborn to run F#mblasting on the radiGo 
And Bmfind someone Agood enough for GAmy
Who'll D/F#love her like I Emwould haveG  
If AI dont make it baBmck     A     G  
[Verse]
We said Ghey man that aint gonna happen, Gdont even think like that 
If D/F#we know you you'll pull through without a scratch 
He Gpulled me aside in the parking lot 
said GAmy and me we're gonna tie the knot
your my D/F#best man just wanted you to know that
Just Gin case I dont make it Gback
[Chorus]
DHave a beer for me, dont waste no Gtears on me 
On DFriday night sit on the visitors Gside and cheer for the home team
Drive Dmy camarro Gninty miles an hour down red rock road
With Dborn to run F#mblasting on the radiGo 
And Bmfind someone Agood enough for GAmy
Who'll D/F#love her like I Emwould haveG  
If AI dont make it back  
 DIf the good lord calls mGe home 
I'd like to think my Emfriends would think 
About me when I'm Agone
