[Verse]
C G
Said a friend to a friend one day,
A F
Was a man who passed away
C G A
St. Peter met him at the gate
C G
Pete said: "Walk with me if you will
A F
I'll take you to the house you built"
C G F
Man said: "I can't wait!"
C G
Passed a mansion made of stone
A F
But with each new house he's shown
C G A
They get smaller by degrees
C G
Stopped in front of a two room shack
A F
Pete said hope you're happy with that
C G C
Man said: "How can this be?"
Pete said:
[Chorus]
F G Am Em
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
F G C
that's all the lumber you sent
F G Am Em
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number
F G C
That's all the lumber you sent
[Verse]
C G
Man didn't know what to say
Am Em
poor guy was blown away
C G Am
Said: "you mean this is what I deserve?"
C G
Pete said: "I'm afraid it's so
Am F
It's too late but now you know
C G F
Shoulda done better work"
C G
You mean not lie and cheat
Am F
and helpin' old ladies across the street?
C G Am
Pete says: Well, that's a start
C G
Remember that man back in that great big house?
Am F
He found out early what it's all about
C G C
Built that place with his heart--as for you
F G Am Em
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
F G C
that's all the lumber you sent
F G Am Em
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number
F G C
That's all the lumber you sent
[Bridge]
Bb Am
What if that man was me
Bb Am
And I failed that miserably
F C
You're showin' me things I don't wanna see
[Verse]
C G
St. Peter if you can
Am F
Send me back to earth again
C G Am
Is that somethin' you can do?
C G
Pete said: It ain't up to me
Am F
If it was I'd like to see
C G F
How you plan to improve
C G
Said: I'd love God and fellow man
Am F
Take a wife and make a stand
C G Am
Be the givinest guy I can be
C G
And when I get back to this neighborhood
Am
There'd be a big gigantic pile of wood
C G C
And I'd say: What's this I see?--You'd tell me
F G Am Em
That's all the lumber all thats your the lumber
F G C
that's all the lumber you sent
F G Am Em
Big Boss will help you hammer it all together
F G C
That's all the lumber you sent
