D
When I get to heaven
                       G                   D
And we’re linend up outside the pearly gates.

But we're all walking, small talking, mingling

I already know what I'm gonna say
D
When we all trade stories
         G                Bm7
Of what we did with our lives
         A
I won't say that I played music or could sing
                               Em
When it's my turn I think I'll smile

Father to a baby girl
         A                  D
And two boys that I know loved me
G        A             Bm
 Famous to a few good friends

And beside me ’till the end

Was my wife who is so lovely

And I don't know who could ask for any more

I may nеver live in Montecito

I'll probably never own a jet
              A                                     A
The sands of time will wear down all the fame and fortune

Till I don't have any left

I don't want some great big funeral
                G           Bm7
I don't want flowers on my grave

Just play this song or have someone write this somewhere

I'd like to let the record state
