    [Verse 1]
    E
    Well there\'s a black tow truck 
    with his headlights on
    E
    And there\'s a slow procession across 
    the graveyard lawn
        A
    And hooked to the back, 
    there\'s a Coupe DeVille
           E
    With a real cool cat, 
    sitting at a wheel
        E
    The obituaries in the papers say
       E
    He up and went and rocked 
    his life away
        A7                           A
    His last request, rock don\'t cry
      E  N.C.

    [Verse 2]
    E
    Now there\'s a rockabilly singer 
    getting buried in his car
    E
    That\'s my one and only rock\'n\'rollin\' 
    heart\'s desire
               A
    I want the back seat covered with 
    the records I made
    E
    And this old Telecaster that 
    I always played
    E
    The Cadillac\'s pointed towards 
    at the Memphis T
    E
    Well Carl Perkins made a 
    rockabilly history
            A7            
    I\'ll be rocking up to 
                       A
    heaven on my 4-6 ply
      E N.C.                    
    I want a rockabilly funeral 
               E
    when I die

    [Chorus]
       A
    So put a lot of echo on 
    the preacher\'s mike
       E
    When you tell him that my 
    memory\'s rocking on
       A
    Be sure you get to shaking when 
    he starts to shout
    E  N.C.     
    That cat is 
                               E
    really-really-really gone! 
    E
    I want a rockabilly funeral 
    when I die

    I want a rockabilly funeral 
    when I die
    E
    A rockabilly funeral when I die
