#1.
Ebm
Oh, I dreamed the jukebox played the day I died..(wahhh!)
F#    G#m7
And a million rock and rollers softly cried..(wahhhh!)
Ebm          Db                        Ebm    G#m7
And they all dropped shiny dimes in my coffin remembering 
           Bb                     G#m7
the times, which were often, they rock and rolled to a 
Ebm                Eb
big, big record of mine..(wahhhh!)

#2.
Ebm
Oh, I dreamed the day I died a jukebox played..(wahhhhh!)
    Bb   G#m7                     Bbm
And upon my chest a golden record lay..(wahhhhh!)
              Db                             F#
And while the stompin' and a-strollin' was a-goin' on,
        G#m7                              Ebm
all the cats were wailin', "the gonest is gone."
Ebm
Oh, I dreamed the jukebox played the day I died..(wahhhh!)

BRIDGE:
            F#
And while I lay in state, I could'a flipped my lid.
                   Ebm
Do you know what I dreamed the jockeys went and did?
     Bb
They bought up all my records in each and every town..
                                           Ebm
they played them simultaneously..(one more song!)

And while the stompin' and a-strollin' was a-goin' on,
        G#m7                              Ebm
all the cats were wailin', "the gonest is gone.
