G                     Am
 Place my body on the  funeral pyre,
C                          G
 cut it loose to float downstream.
G                     Am
 Leave it frozen on a  mountain top,
C                             G
 suspend it high to be picked  clean.

CHORUS:
         D              C
You said  never to grow  old,
           G                   G
but you forgot to tell me how. 
         D              C
You said  never to grow  old
                   G                             G
and then sank your  teeth into those final feet. 

G                       Am
 Last night I dreamt of  owls at my window.
C                             G
 I knew that time was winding  down.
G                   Am
 Turned to tell you  of my premonition,
C                             G
 changed my mind and lay back  down.

CHORUS...

G                     Am
 No sense wasting the  time you got,
C                           G
 you got to walk down every  road.
G                                Am
 No sense pretending that you're  what you're not,
C                               G
 when you got to shoulder every  load.

CHORUS...

GAmCG
   
GAm      C                            G
  Cut it  loose, cut it loose, cut it  loose

CHORUS...
