Intro: Bb--Eb--Gm-F-Eb-- x2


Verse 1:
       Gm
Well I wonder which song they're 
         D
going to play when we go
            Gm
I hope it's something quiet
                       Eb
mannered peaceful and slow
        Gm
When we float out into the ether
         D
Into the everlasting arms
          Gm
I hope we don't hear 
                         Eb
Marley's chains before July


Refrain 1:
          Gm
Cause the chains I've been 
Eb              Bb/D       Bb
hearing now for most of my life
        Gm               Eb
And the chains I've been hearing 
        Bb/D       Bb
now for most of my life


Chorus:
                  Bb
Did you hear the 59 sound coming 
            Eb
through our grandfather's radio?
                 Gm
Did you hear the rattling 
      F                Eb
chains in the hospital walls?
                  Bb
Did you hear the old gospel choir 
                  Eb
when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your 
Gm           F         Eb
favorite song one last time?


Verse 2:
      Gm
And I wonder were you scared 
         D
when the metal hit the glass
          Gm
See I was playing a show down the 
                                Eb
road when your spirit left your body
         Gm
And they told me on the front 
         D
lawn I'm sorry I couldn't go
       Gm
But I still know the song and 

the words and the 
             Eb
name and the reasons


Refrain 2:
      Gm
And I know cause we were 
Eb         Bb/D        Bb
kids and we    used to hang
      Gm
And I know cause we were 
Eb         Bb/D        Bb
kids and we    used to hang
