Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
        A minorAm                   Fmaj7Fmaj7
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
     A minorAm                 E minorEm
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
      A minorAm                  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.

      A minorAm       FF       C majorC     G+G
'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
   A minorAm       FF       C majorC     G+G
The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

         C majorC              Fmaj7Fmaj7
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
         A minorAm        G+G         Fmaj7Fmaj7
Did you hear the rattling chains.... in the hospital walls?
         C majorC                 Fmaj7Fmaj7
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
         A minorAm       G+G    Fmaj7Fmaj7
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

     A minorAm              E minorEm
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
       A minorAm                          Fmaj7Fmaj7
See, I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body.
     A minorAm               E minorEm
And they told me on the front lawn. I'm sorry I couldn't go,
    A minorAm                           Fmaj7Fmaj7
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.


    A minorAm         FF      C majorC    G+G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
  A minorAm         FF      C majorC    G+G
I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang

was pretty sure I could make it work for this song too. I took a look at a
