G I been thinkin' lately about the
C G people I meet
C G The carwash on the corner and the
D hole in the street
G C The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
G D And I'm wondering if I'm gonna see
G tomorrow [Chorus]
G C Father forgive us for what we must
G do
C G D You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G We'll forgive each other till we
C both turn blue
G D Then we'll whistle and go fishin'
G in Heaven [Instrumental]

G C I was in the Army but I never dug
G a trench
C G I used to bust my knuckles on a
D monkey wrench
G C I'd go to town and drink and give the girls a pinch
G D But I don't think they ever even
G noticed me

G C Father forgive us for what we must
G do
C G D You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G We'll forgive each other till we
C both turn blue
G D Then we'll whistle and go fishin'
G in Heaven [Bridge]
D Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
G Eat everything that they put on your dish
C G And when we get through, we'll make a big wish
A7 D7 That we never have to do this again, Again? Again??? [Verse 3]
G C On my very first job I said "thank you" and "please"
C G They made me scrub a parking lot
D down on my knees
G C Then I got fired for being scared of bees
G D And they only give me fifty cents
G an hour [Chorus]
G C Father forgive us for what we must
G do
C G D You forgive us, we'll forgive you
G We'll forgive each other till we
C both turn blue
G D Then we'll whistle and go fishin'
G in Heaven [Instrumental]

G in Heaven [Ending]
