Intro:
A    D*   f# E D* (2x)
 
        f#                              c#       
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
            f#                                         D*
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
        f#                                 c#
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
          f#                            D*
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
 
           f#            D5              A          E   
 'Cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
           f#            D5              A          E   
	The chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

                 A                           D*
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmother's radio?
                 f#              E                 D*
Did you hear the rattling chains   in the hospital walls?
                 A                                  D*
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
                  f#            E          D*
Did you hear your favorite song   one last time?

      f#                              c#
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
           f#                                                      D*
See, I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body.
         f#                             c#
And they told me on the front lawn. I'm sorry I couldn't go,
      f#                                                     D*
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.

          f#             D5               A         E
    And I know 'cause we were kids and we   used to hang
          f#             D5               A         E
	I know 'cause we were kids and we   used to hang
