Death of a Single Man Brad Paisley
[E] [G#m7] [A7] [B7]
Rememb[E]er w[G#m7]hen we g[F#m]ot the [B]news
E C#dom7 F#m B
Confirming our worst fears
I sai[E]d he wo[Fdim]uldn?t make it s[A]ix m[Am]onths
And o[E]thers gave h[B]im a y[E]ear
And sure e[G#m7]nough l[F#m]ast Sat[B]urday
E C#dom7 F#m B
We paid our last respects
He le[E]ft us h[Fdim]ere still in th[A]is li[Am]fe
And he?s[E] gone o[B]n to the [E]next[D] [G#m]
I?d never[A] seen [Am]him wear a [G#]tie
But he l[C#m]ooked so natural, a[F#]lmost lifelike[F#] [G#]
The preach[A]er [Am]spoke, his mo[G#]ther cried
When he said ?S[C#m]on, you may now kiss the b[F#]ride?
Everyone cheered, I thought how odd
I didn?t understand
Why with champagne and cake we celebrate
The death of a single man
So many flowers, he was so loved
Prior to the bride
As a matter of fact
The maid of honor should be disqualified
To all his friends, it?s a wake-up call
If it happened to him
It can happen to us all
Nothing says it?s over man
Like a bad 80?s cover band
How can we dance to My Sharona
At the death of a single man
He was so young
So full of dreams
Before the day he fell
Now he?s gone on to a better place
Or possibly to hell
Now here we are, seems so unfair
It?s poker night and there?s one empty chair
So many things we?re gonna miss
His happy smile and that great laugh of his
I think of him in the afterwife, life
I guess all good things must end
So with Jack and Coke, we?ll make a toast
To the death of a single man
