Trying To Get To Heaven chords for acoustic guitar
David Bowie (Bob Dylan) *

Capo II

    G              A      G
The air is getting hotter
                          D
There's a rumbling in the skies
G                                A
I've been wading through the high  muddy water
         G                      D
With the heat rising through my eyes
Bm                          G
Every day your memory grows dimmer
E                                D
It doesn't hurt me like it did before
G                             A
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere
G                                   D
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/david-bowie/353314.html ]
G             A        G
People on the platforms
                D
Waiting for the trains
G                         A
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
     G                     D
Like pendulums swinging on chains
Bm                                G
When you think that you lost everything
         Em                               D
You find out you can always lose a little more
G                       A
I'm just going down the road feeling bad
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

D  G F       G   D
Oooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G                  A    G
I'm going down the river
              D
Down to New Orleans
G                                A
They tell me everything is gonna be all right
      G                                D
But I don't know what "all right" even means
Bm                    G    
I close my eyes and I wonder boys
E                                D
If everything is as hollow as it seems
G                       A
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
G                                           D
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   D
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door . . .
