INTRO: (G-A-B) C C G C    G C G C G

The curtain of darkness is fallin’
GAnd my friends are all here at my side.
C GAre those the sweet voices of angels
GAs I rise on that heavenly tide?
A D7 All hearts overflowin’ with sadness
GAnd those words left so often unsaid
C GThen I could hear a voice whispering softly,
C G C“Could I have all your stuff when your dead?”
G D G C G “Could I have your TV and your pickup?
CAnd I’ve always admired your shoes.
GCould I have that old dining room table?
CAnd there’s a couple of chairs I could use.”
G D7 “Well, you know that you’re headed to glory,
GAnd like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot
C GWhen they write the last page of your story,
C G CCould I try on that seersucker suit?”
G D G C G SOLO/INSTRUMENTAL: (G-A-B) C C G C G C G C G It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas.
GHe was kneelin’ down close by my side.
C GHis breath had just come from a funeral
GFor a mouth full of teeth that had died.
A D7 Well, I prayed my last prayer for salvation.
GI was feelin’ the touch of God’s hand.
C GBut I could still hear the voice of my brother
C G CAs they struck up that old angel band.
G D G C G “Could I have your old ski boots and surf board?
CAnd maybe that four-poster bed?
GWould you mind if I took a few records?
CJust Nirvana, The Stones, and the Dead.”
G D7 Well, you know that you can’t take it with you
GTo your heavenly home up on high.
C GWhen you pass through those gates, and they hand you your wings,
C G CCould I have all your stuff when you die?
G D G C G But the angels consulted St. Peter
CAnd flew me back to my hospital bed.
G DMy life was a new day a-dawning,
G CAnd the angels took Tommy instead.
