The Statler Brothers - Some I Wrote

      
 
 Some day when it`s all over,
           G            D  
 And they come to carry me.
             Bm                           
 And you`re walkin` slow and wearin' black
           Em              A 
 With the rest of the family.
 D                                   
 And the choir stands to sing a song,
       G                D   
 Make sure it`s one of mine.
          Bm           
 I had a few more tunes
 I wanted to write,
     Em            D   
 But I ran out of time.
 
  D                       G                   
 Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun.
  D                Bm                Em          A  
 Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.
  D                          G                          
 One I wrote for mama and a couple still aren`t through.
  D                 Bm                     Em               D  
 I`ve lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you.
 
       D                     
 That day when it`s all over,
             G             D  
 And you`re sittin` all alone.
           Bm                   
 They'll call ask what you want.
          Em            A    
 to have written on my stone.
  D                                 
 Tell them when I was born and died,
      G            D  
 The year and the day,
     Bm                                 
 and If there`s room for something more,
  Em                  D  
 Here`s what you can say.
 
  D                       G                     
 Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun.
  D                Bm                Em          A   
 Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one.
  D                                   G                   
 One he wrote for his mama and never finished two or three
  D               Bm                     Em               D 
 He lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me
