Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore chords by John Prine

Verse 1:
      G
While digesting Reader's Digest
       C
In the back of a dirty book store,
  D
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
                G
Fell out on the floor.
        G
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
                    C
Slapped on my window shield,
       D
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
                      G
I tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
         C
But your flag decal won't get you
     G
Into Heaven any more.
          D
They're already overcrowded
          G
From your dirty little war.
    C
Now Jesus don't like killin'
          G
No matter what the reason's for,
         D
And your flag decal won't get you
                G    Bb   C   D
Into Heaven any more.

Verse 2:

Well, I went to the bank this morning
        C
And the cashier he said to me,

"If you join the Christmas club
                                     G
We'll give you ten of them flags for free. "
      G
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
                         C
I took her up on what he said.
      D
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
                         G
And one on my wife's forehead.

Chorus:
          C
But, your flag decal won't get you

There already overcrowded
          G

Verse 3:
        G
Well, I got my window shield so filled
                      C
With flags I couldn't see.
      D
So, I ran the car upside a curb
                 C
And right into a tree.
       G
By the time they got a doctor down
              C
I was already dead.
         D
And I'll never understand why the man
                             G
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

Chorus:
         C
But your flag decal won't get you
     G
Into Heaven any more.
      D
We're already overcrowded
          G
From your dirty little war.
    C
Now Jesus don't like killin'
          G
No matter what the reason's for,
         D
And your flag decal won't get you
            G       Bb   C   D
