1. 	Worms coming up with the dew at night.
  	                                C        G
  	Crawling 'cross the road in the pale moonlight.
  	                          C     G
	Underneath the front tire of my bike.
  	C                          D
  	I don't want to die like a worm.
  	C                          D
  	I don't want to die like a worm.



2.	Worms are doing a mighty good job.
	Turn decay into soil and sod.
	Dust to dust, mud to mud.
	I don't want to die like a worm.
	I don't want to die like a worm.


       	C                  G
bridge:	I want to die with dignity,
       	C            D
       	style when I go.
       	C                    G
       	I want to die like a human being
       	Am            D
       	painfully and slow.


3.	Use a worm for fishing bait.
	But underneath the ground his family waits.
	They'll meet you on the way to the pearly gates.
  	     C
	Some day I'm going to die.
	    D
	But I don't want to die.
	    C               D          G    C   G D G
	No, I don't want to die like a worm.
