I have one foot in the graveyard     and the other on the bus,

and the passengers do trample     each other in the rush.

And the chicken hearted lawman    is throwing up his fill,
G                 D      A                   E
to see the kindly doctor    to pass the superpill.

Well, I tried my best to love you all,    all you hypocrites and whores,

with your eyes on each other    and the locks upon your doors.

for living while I was dying,     we were all just passing through.
