B5                             F#5
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
            B5                                         G5
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
        B5                                F#5
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
          B5                                     G5
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
           B5            G5               D5          A5
'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life

                 A5                             G5
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
                  B5            A5                  G5
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
                  D5                                  G5
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
                  B5           A5         G5
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

    B5                              F#5
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
           B5
See, I was playing a show down the road
                           G5
when your spirit left your body
         B5
And they told me on the front lawn
    F#5
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
      B5                                                     F5
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
      B5                  G5        D5         A5
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
      B5                  G5        D5         A5
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
