Capo 1 fret
 
G  D  C  G  (x 2)
 
G
One day I woke up
D
I woke knowing
C
Today is the day
G
I will die
 
G
Cashdog was barking
D                    C                     G
Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time
 
Bm                  C
I called my mother, told her I loved her
Bm                      C
And I begged her not to cry
 
G
I wrote a letter
D
I said I'd miss her
C                     G
And I signed that Goodbye
 
[Chorus]
D                               C
You know the happiest day of my life
D                              C
I swear the happiest day of my life
N.C
Is the day that I die
G                D
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
Am              C
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
G                   D
The darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
Am            C
All alone but I feel fine (the day that I die)
 
G                   D
We took a drive and we drove to D.C.
C                    G
To see the places we live
G                 D
Our conversations we talked of old friends
C                  G
And all the things that we did
 
Bm
Summer nights
C
Drunken fights
Bm
Mistakes we made
C
Did we live it right
 
(repeat Chorus)

I swear the happiest day of my life
D                             C
I know the happiest day of my life
N.C
Is the day that I die
