       D                   A7        D
I told my mom goodbye when I was eighteen 
                            A7        D
She told me bye for good at age sixty three 
                 G             D
She was an angel right here on earth 
                                   A7         D
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her  
                       A7      D
I went and married the woman I loved 
                        A7        D
Three years of me later she had enough 
                      G           D
Just one more angel I didn't deserve 
                                   A7         D
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her  
           C          G        D
Feels like everything I love I lose 
        F          G          D
And God giveth and He takes away 
C            G              D
Prayin's the right thing to do 
      F               G          A
But I don't fell like prayin' today 
     D
So I think I'll just sit here 
    A7          D
And drink for a spell 
                                        A7         D
'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell  
 
Solo 
        D                     A7            D
Now I'm headed nowhere ninety nine miles an hour 
                          A7           D
In a '62 Dodge with three hundred horse power 
                        G             D
If she holds together I might get the nerve 
   N.C.
To cross that fine line between heaven and her  
           C          G        D
Feels like everything I love I lose 
        F          G          D
And God giveth and He takes away 
C            G              D
Prayin's the right thing to do 
      F               G          A
But I don't fell like prayin' today 
   D
So maybe I'll just slow down 
    A7          D
And drink for a spell 
                                        N.C.         D
'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell
