When Its My Time

      D                     G                        Em               A
I was late for work, had to pull to the side while a funeral train of cars drove by
           D                 G                     Em            A
With their lights on, it was just my luck, it went on and on for miles
       D                  G                       Em          A
I kept checkin' my watch, grittin' my teeth, then suddenly it dawned on me
          D                G                     Em               A
That who- ever this is, is gonna be missed for a long, long time,

G         A
It got me thinking
          D                  G                Em                 A
When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this
D        G                           Em                       A
200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived
      Bm           F#m          G    F#m Em   A         D
And I hope I leave half as much love be- hind when it's my time

     D                      G                        Em               A
So I followed that last car down to the church, took off my ball cap, tucked in my shirt
       D               G                  Em                        A
I just had to see what kind of life could cause such as traffic jam
      D                         G                     Em                  A
Heard story after story, people laugh, people cry, it didn't take long to understand
          D                       G                      Em                     A
Why every pew was full, there's a lot of good souls made better for knowing him

G                  A
And now I'm one of them
          D                  G                Em                 A
When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this
D        G                           Em                       A
200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived
      Bm           F#m          G    F#m Em   A         D
And I hope I leave half as much love be- hind when it's my time

| (G)  | (Em)  | (A)
       Em                         F#m                   Bm                A
Felt a hand on my back, turned a- round, someone asked, "Did you know him well?"
                   G
And I said, "Yeah, well enough to know"
          D                  G                Em                 A
When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this
D        G                           Em                       A
200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived
      Bm           F#m          G    F#m Em   A         D
And I hope I leave half as much love be- hind when it's my time
D
Ooh, when it's my time
