Capo on 1st

Verse 1:
         G          C        G
He wore overalls to meet his King
               G                     C       G
Took a pack of Marlboro Reds and his wedding ring
         D                        C
And his fifty-year-long faithful bride
         D                       C
Held his hand, walked him to the other side




         G          C       G
He said "Honey
I'm just so tired
          G              C       G
"Of bein' hooked up to a hundred wires
   D                  C
"I wanna be in my own bed"
D                   C
Call the kids around and said

Rolling dice and cigarettes in heaven"
