Am F I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow. Am Em when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms, Am F I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life. 'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life. Chorus- C F Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? Am G F Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? C F Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Am G F Did 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.
