FDFD Got a bank vault in heaven, got my name on the door AmGmD Every day I get richer, add a little bit more FDFD Come you tellers and lenders and lend me some more AmGmD Got a bank vault in heaven and it's mine for evermore
DmFAmDm And the angels sing "Fly, fly, fly" FAmDm The angels sing "Fly, fly, fly" FCGm Fly from the darkness that covers you all FCGmBbCD Fly to the sky where the only wall is infinity, infinity
Going to shine down from heaven right into your room Take the minds of your children right off to the moon Every mud hut and igloo, every penthouse and farm I'll shine down from heaven and I'll do my snake-charm
And the angels say "Sing, sing, sing", "Sing, sing, sing" Oh the whole world is singing the same happy tune Something so low even hound dogs can croon to insanity, insanity
Oh there's a signpost in heaven, in the firmament blue You can run to the wastelands, but it points straight at you I've got a bank vault in heaven, what joy will it bring All you Punchs and Judys, I'll be pulling your strings
