[verse]
C/E F C/E Dm7
Feel..the sun upon your back
Fmaj7 C/E G7 Fmaj7
Someone somewhere wants to steal it
C/E F C/E Dm7
Pray each night you'll catch the thief
Fmaj7
But while you..
C(add9)/E C/E Cmaj7/E C/E
sleep he comes and
C/D
takes it...Does that make you think little girl?
Am Am/G C/D
Doesn't it just little boy
[chorus]
C/E F(add9) G6 G C/E
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
G7 C/E Fmaj7
I'll say 'after you,' you'll say 'I don't
G13 G7 G7sus4 G7
mind the wait'..
C/E F(add9) G6 G C/E
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
G7 C/E Fmaj7
Naked and afraid, cowering we
G13 G7 G7sus4 G7 C/F G
crawl on all fours
[verse 2]
C/E F C/E Dm7
See the smile on her young face
Fmaj7 C/E G7 Fmaj7
Watch life casually erase it
C/E F C/E Dm7
Now I know she's all grown up
Fmaj7
She wears a
C(add9)/E C/E Cmaj7/E C/E
look I can't quite
C/D
place yet...What makes you cry little girl?
Am Am/G C/D
Maybe I'm scared little boy
[Chorus]
C/E F(add9) G6 G C/E
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
G7 C/E Fmaj7
I'll say 'after you,' you'll say 'I don't
G13 G7 G7sus4 G7
mind the wait'..
C/E F(add9) G6 G C/E
There'll be no stampede on those imposing doors
G7 C/E Fmaj7
Naked and afraid, cowering we
G13 G7 G7sus4 G7 C/F G
crawl on all fours
[outro-chorus]
C/E F(add9) G6 G C/E
There'll be no stampede on the Pearly Gates
G7 C/E Fmaj7
I'll say 'after you,' you'll say 'I don't
G13 G7 G7sus4 G7 C/F G
mind the wait'..
