ARTIST: Tom Lehrer TITLE: We Will All Go Together When We Go Lyrics and Chords When you attend a funeral It is sad to think that sooner or later Those you love will do the same for you And you may have thought it tragic Not to mention other adjec- Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do But don't you worry / Em - / B7 - / Em - C7 B7 / Em - / B7 - / Em F#7 B7 / - / No more ashes, no more sackcloth And an armband made of black cloth Will someday never more adorn a sleeve For if the bomb that drops on you Gets your friends and neighbors too There'll be nobody left behind to grieve / Em - / F - / B7 - E - / E E7 A F#7 / B7 - E B7 / And we will all go together when we go What a comforting thought that is to know. Universal bereavement, an inspiring achievement Yes, we will all go together when we go / E - A - / - F#m B7 - / E E7 A F#m / B7 - E C7 / We will all go together when we go All suffused with an incandescent glow No one will have the endurance to collect on his insurance Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they go / F - Bb - / - Gm C7 - / F F7 Bb Gm / C7 - F C#7 / Oh we will all fry together when we fry We'll be french fried potatoes by and by There will be no more misery when the world is our rotisserie Yes, we will all fry together when we fry / F# - E - / - - Eb - / - - / E - / Bb7 - Eb - / Down by the old maelstrom There'll be a storm before the calm / Eb F7 Bb7 - / Bb7 G7 Cm B7 / And we will all bake together when we bake There'll be nobody present at the wake With complete participation in that grand incineration Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak Oh we will all char together when we char And let there be no moaning of the bar Just sing out a Te Deum when you see that ICBM And the party will be "come as you are" Oh we will all burn together when we burn There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn When it's time for the fallout And Saint Peter calls us all out We'll just drop our agendas and adjourn You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollahs / G#m C#7 / F#m B7 / And we will all go together when we go Ev'ry Hottentot and ev'ry Eskimo When the air becomes uranious, we will all go simultaneous Yes we all will go together, when we all go together Yes, we all will go together when we go / E - A - / - F#m B7 - / E E7 A F#m / B7 - C#7 - / F#m B7 E - /
