Am E
Well I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
Am F
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
Am E
when we float out into the ether into the Everlasting Arms
Am F
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
Am F C G
cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
Did you hear the ' 9 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio
Am G F
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls
C F
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over
Am G F
Did you hear your favorite song one last time
Am E
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass
Am
See I was playing a show down the road
F
when your spirit left your body
Am
And they told me on the front lawn
E
I'm sorry I couldn't go
Am F
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
Am F C G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
Am F C G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
