---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore - John Prine ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Chorus)
GC Well I got my windshield so filled with flags I couldn’t see DG So I ran my car upside a curb and right into a tree GC By the time they got a doctor down I was already dead, D And I’ll never understand Why the man, G Standing in the Pearly Gates said…
