VERSE:
Em            Bm          C                  Em
My pulse says 23 beats an hour - that can’t be right
Em                   Bm             C                    Em
Maybe that’s why I’m falling asleep here at the traffic light
Em              Bm                     C                             Em
I can’t hear a word you say but I can see you from the corner of my eye
Em                Bm                  C                 Em
One hand out the window, Lord, and my brain’s up in the sky

VERSE:
Em            Bm                   C            Em
When I awake my hands vibrate just like a banjo string
Em                   Bm       C              Em
Radio station coming in I can hear the choir sing
Em                   Bm                   C             Em
Some kind of song that sounds just like "When the Levee Breaks"
Em                   Bm             C                    Em
Bassoons and timpanis join in what a ruckus those things make

CHORUS:
G                   Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F                                 G
I think I hear the undertaker’s song
G                   Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F                         G                Em
We’re going to reach the gates before too long

VERSE:
Em             Bm                  C           Em
When I arose I was exposed to the fabled bright lights
Em           Bm                  C                    Em
All the harp players’ robes were pressed and clean and white
Em                   Bm                  C              Em
Plucking out a tune that I know now was "In My Time of Dying"
Em                   Bm        C                  Em
When they issued me my wings I set straight out flying

CHORUS:
G                   Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F                                 G
I think I hear the undertaker’s song
G                   Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F                         G                Em
We’re going to reach the gates before too long

SOLO:
Em Bm C Em x4

BRIDGE:
C                 Am            Em
If my halo should ever lose its shine
C                 Am          Em
Help me to find a new one somewhere
C                 Am          Em
If my wings should fail me my Lord
C                Am                  Em
Please won’t you meet me with another pair?
C Am Em

G                   Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F                                 G
I think I hear the undertaker’s song
G                   Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F                         G                Em
We’re going to reach the gates before too long
F                  G            Em
I think I hear the undertaker’s song
        F                G            Em
