        D                A
And his friends have all come
  Bm                     G
A-waiting the curtain to fall

Nothing can stop it at all, no, no, no

“He always stuck by me, through thick___ and through thin
       Am       Bm       C
Oh, we both had our days, made love and made hate
        Bm      A         E
But I’d do it a-gain if I could”

And he knows___ it’s the day
        D            A   Bm
And his life flashes by, there, ‘fore his eyes
       F#m               A
Yes he knows___ it’s the day
        D                A

Nothing can stop it at all, no, no, no
