Sneakin' Into Heaven
Chris Rice

NOTE- much of the song is picked with a bass background- it's mostly correct as I see 
let me know if you come up with something else.  Peace.

Intro- Palm muted chug on the B chord

(Verse)
B (x2444x@1)            D (xx0232@1)             ACity (x02220@1)sidewalk, bright Saturday morning

B (x2444x@1)                                 D (xx0232@1)                  AHe (x02220@1)asks me for a coin, and mumbles, "Thank you, and God bless you."
B (x2444x@1)                     D (xx0232@1)         AGood (x02220@1)deeds and halos not sure what I believe.
F#He (244322@1)asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you?
F#How (244322@1)'bout this halo for an hour or two?" And now I'm...

(Chorus)
B (x2444x@1)                         D (xx0232@1)      ASneakin' (x02220@1)into heaven with a borrowed halo
B (x2444x@1)                     D (xx0232@1)      AHopin' (x02220@1)no one notices my broken wings
B (x2444x@1)                                      D (xx0232@1)        APeekin' (x02220@1)through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy!

B (x2444x@1)             D (xx0232@1)          A'Postle (x02220@1)Peter, taps me on my shoulder
B (x2444x@1)                           D (xx0232@1)              ASays, (x02220@1)"are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?"
B (x2444x@1)                             D (xx0232@1)                       A"Well, (x02220@1)I'd be glad to! Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?"
B (x2444x@1)                           D (xx0232@1)          A"I've (x02220@1)always wondered what the fuss is all about."
F#I (244322@1)feel like a kid flashin' a fake I.D.
F#Tryin' (244322@1)to slip past the Authority! And now I'm...

(Repeat Chorus)

B (x2444x@1)              D (xx0232@1)              AHey (x02220@1)Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession

B (x2444x@1)                       D (xx0232@1)                    AWe've (x02220@1)all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine!
F#'Cause (244322@1)nobody's good enough, and up here we're all the same.
F#We (244322@1)all get to heaven under Someone Else's name!"
