       D5                   A5        D5
I told my mom goodbye when I was eighteen 
                            A5        D5
She told me bye for good at age sixty three 
                 G5             D5
She was an angel right here on earth 
                                   A5         D5
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her  
                       A5      D5
I went and married the woman I loved 
                        A5        D5
Three years of me later she had enough 
                      G5           D5
Just one more angel I didn't deserve 
                                   A5         D5
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her  
           C5          G5        D5
Feels like everything I love I lose 
        F5          G5          D5
And God giveth and He takes away 
C5            G5              D5
Prayin's the right thing to do 
      F5               G5          A5
But I don't fell like prayin' today 
     D5
So I think I'll just sit here 
    A5          D5
And drink for a spell 
                                        A5         D5
'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell  
 
Solo 
        D5                     A5            D5
Now I'm headed nowhere ninety nine miles an hour 
                          A5           D5
In a '62 Dodge with three hundred horse power 
                        G5             D5
If she holds together I might get the nerve 
   N.C.
To cross that fine line between heaven and her  
           C5          G5        D5
Feels like everything I love I lose 
        F5          G5          D5
And God giveth and He takes away 
C5            G5              D5
Prayin's the right thing to do 
      F5               G5          A5
But I don't fell like prayin' today 
   D5
So maybe I'll just slow down 
    A5          D5
And drink for a spell 
                                        N.C.         D5
'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell
