Verse 1
Old
C
D
Bill's funeral, one of a multitude
G
C
G
They asked if I'd be kind enough
A
D
to say a word or two
G
C
Well, I didn't want to tell a
D
G
lie with anything I said
C
G
But how could I avoid it and not
D
G
speak ill of the dead?
C
So I started out by saying,
D
G
all of us have sinned
C
G
And each of us can only hope that
A
D
God will understand
G
C
Bill made mistakes throughout his life
D
G
But now that it's all done
C
I think he's brought some
G
D
happiness to each and every one
G
C
G
Cause if heaven is pleased
D
When sinners cease to sin
G
C
G
If the devil is pleased
A
D
When another soul comes in
C
G
If the earth is glad
D
G
To be rid of a maid,
C
G
then everybody's happy
Cause
D
G
Bill is in his grave
C
He was just a little boy,
D
G
his sins weren't all that great
C
G
He used to steal the money from
A
D
the church collection plate
G
C
But I won't call him a shyster
D
who loved to cheat and steal
G
C
Though he did once burn his
G
D
mother in a real estate deal
G
C
G
But if heaven is pleased,
D
when sinners cease to sin
G
C
G
If the devil is pleased when
A
D
another soul comes in
C
G
D
G
If the earth is glad to be rid of a name
C
G
Then everybody's happy cause
D
G
Bill's in his grave
C
And I won't call him cruel,
D
though he used to shave his cat
G
C
G
And he once put a snake inside
A
D
his grandma's favorite hat
G
C
He burned his brother's busi
D
ness and ran off with his wife
G
C
G
He framed his sister with
D
the crime and sent her up for life
G
C
G
But if heaven is pleased
D
when sinners cease to sin
G
C
G
If the devil is pleased when
A
D
another soul comes in
C
G
D
G
If the earth is glad to be rid of a knave
C
G
Then everybody's happy cause
D
G
A
Bill's in his grave
D
So for those of us who lived with
E
A
Bill and knew him all too well
D
A
We take this opportunity to
B
E
bid him fond farewell
D
E
A
Bill is looking in, I know that he can see
D
A
Today he's made this troubled
E
A
world a better place to be
D
A
Cause if heaven is pleased
E
when sinners cease to sin
A
D
A
If the devil is pleased when
B
E
another soul comes in
D
A
E
A
If the earth is glad to be rid of a knave
D
A
Then everybody's happy cause
E
A
Bill's in his grave

A
Yes, everybody's happy, cause
E
A
Bill is in his grave.
