INTRO: (G+G

The curtain of darkness is fallin’
G+G
And my friends are all here at my side.
G+G
Are those the sweet voices of angels
G+G
As I rise on that heavenly tide?
D7D7

All hearts overflowin’ with sadness
G+G
And those words left so often unsaid
G+G
Then I could hear a voice whispering softly,
C majorC
“Could I have all your stuff when your dead?”
G+G

“Could I have your TV and your pickup?
C majorC
And I’ve always admired your shoes.
G+G
Could I have that old dining room table?
C majorC
And there’s a couple of chairs I could use.”
D7D7

“Well, you know that you’re headed to glory,
G+G
And like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot
G+G
When they write the last page of your story,
C majorC
Could I try on that seersucker suit?”
G+G

SOLO/INSTRUMENTAL: (G+G


It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas.
G+G
He was kneelin’ down close by my side.
G+G
His breath had just come from a funeral
G+G
For a mouth full of teeth that had died.
D7D7

Well, I prayed my last prayer for salvation.
G+G
I was feelin’ the touch of God’s hand.
G+G
But I could still hear the voice of my brother
C majorC
As they struck up that old angel band.
G+G

“Could I have your old ski boots and surf board?
C majorC
And maybe that four-poster bed?
G+G
Would you mind if I took a few records?
C majorC
Just Nirvana, The Stones, and the Dead.”
D7D7

Well, you know that you can’t take it with you
G+G
To your heavenly home up on high.
G+G
When you pass through those gates, and they hand you your wings,
C majorC
Could I have all your stuff when you die?
G+G


But the angels consulted St. Peter
C majorC
And flew me back to my hospital bed.
D MajorD
My life was a new day a-dawning,
C majorC
And the angels took Tommy instead.
G+G

OUTRO: (G+G
