E B7

Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn in a silver casket,

B7 E

Put golden flowers over my head in a silver basket.

A E E/Eb C#

Let the drum and bugle corps blow taps while cannons roar,

F# B7

Let sixteen liv'ried employees pass out souvenirs from the funeral store.

E B7 E

I want to go simply, when I go,

G# C#m

And they'll give me a simple fun'ral there, I know,

A

With a casket lined in fleece,

E E/Eb C#

And fireworks spelling out "Rest In Peace."

F# B7 E B7

Oh, take me, when I'm gone, to Forest Lawn.

E B7

Oh, lay me down in Forest Lawn ? they understand there,

B7 E

And they have a heavenly choir and a military band there.

E E/Eb C#

Oh, just put me in their care and I'll find my comfort there,

F# B7

With sixteen planes in a last salute, dropping a cross in a parachute.

E B7 E

I want to go simply, when I go,

G# C#m

And they'll give me a simple fun'ral there, I know,

A

With a hunderd strolling strings,

E E/Eb C#

And topless dancers in golden wings,

F# B7 E F#

Oh, take me, when I'm gone, to Forest Lawn ...

B

Oh, come, come, come, come,

F#

Come to the church in the wildwood,
