INTRO: (G-A-B) C C G C G C G C G The curtain of darkness is fallin’ G And my friends are all here at my side. C G Are those the sweet voices of angels G As I rise on that heavenly tide? A D7 All hearts overflowin’ with sadness G And those words left so often unsaid C G Then I could hear a voice whispering softly, C G C “Could I have all your stuff when your dead?” G D G C G “Could I have your TV and your pickup? C And I’ve always admired your shoes. G Could I have that old dining room table? C And there’s a couple of chairs I could use.” G D7 “Well, you know that you’re headed to glory, G And like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot C G When they write the last page of your story, C G C Could I try on that seersucker suit?” G D G C G SOLO/INSTRUMENTAL: (G-A-B) C C G C G C G C G [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/a/austin-lounge-lizards/315233.html ] It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas. G He was kneelin’ down close by my side. C G His breath had just come from a funeral G For a mouth full of teeth that had died. A D7 Well, I prayed my last prayer for salvation. G I was feelin’ the touch of God’s hand. C G But I could still hear the voice of my brother C G C As they struck up that old angel band. G D G C G “Could I have your old ski boots and surf board? C And maybe that four-poster bed? G Would you mind if I took a few records? C Just Nirvana, The Stones, and the Dead.” G D7 Well, you know that you can’t take it with you G To your heavenly home up on high. C G When you pass through those gates, and they hand you your wings, C G C Could I have all your stuff when you die? G D G C G But the angels consulted St. Peter C And flew me back to my hospital bed. G D My life was a new day a-dawning, G C And the angels took Tommy instead. G C G C G OUTRO: (G-A-B) C C G C (G-A-B-B-B-C-B-A-G) C G Tabbed out by Peter C |
