Verse-
Am (x02210@1) EWell, (022100@1)I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
Am (x02210@1) FI (133211@1)hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
Am (x02210@1) Ewhen (022100@1)we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
Am (x02210@1) FI (133211@1)hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G'cause (320003@1)the chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
Chorus-
C (x32010@1) FDid (133211@1)you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) FDid (133211@1)you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
C (x32010@1) FDid (133211@1)you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) FDid (133211@1)you hear your favorite song one last time?
Verse-
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
See, I was playing a show down the road
when your spirit left your body.
And they told me on the front lawn.
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang.
[Chorus]
Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night.
[Chorus]
