A                E 
  Sitting in the funeral parlor 
G                D

A                    E 
  Think I might have left the stove on 
G                     D

The stores will all be closed when I get out 
A              E

  Listen to the organ play 
A              E 
  What if I forgot the trashcan

I wrote the number down    in my book
