[Verse 1]
D                      A         
Everyone suspected ole Willie's 
        D
time was near
       G                D     
'Cause lately he'd been talkin' 
                           A
'bout the Lord & leavin' here
   D                               
He said if I fight the devil when I
 A               D
 die I know I'll lose
   G               D               
To sing my soul to Heaven 'for the 
A              D
devil gets the news

(Verse 3)
      D                    A      
Well, everybody cried when poor 
         D
ole Willie died
        G                 D       
And his old flat top gui- tar was 
                         A
that all Willie left be- hind
     D                             
They took it to the graveyard when 
     A                D
they laid him down to rest
G                D               
Someone tuned it up and answered 
A                 D
Willie's last re- quest

The Tavern choir from Marvin's Bar
    D                    A
 on Wine Street gathered 'round
         D                         
They be- lieve Willie's soul passed
         G
 through Heaven's golden gate
    D        A                D
Be- fore his body touched the ground

 G
sweet the sound?

[Verse 3]
           D                     
There's an ole flat top guitar on 
     A               D
the wall behind the bar
    G                   D         
And somewhere there's a twinkle in
               A
 a far distant star
    D                              
Now that ole Satan raised some Hell
         A               D
 when he finally got the news
         G              D         
That the only soul that Willie 
           A                    D
left was on a pair of his worn out 
shoes
