When I Get To Heaven

D

[Verse 1]
N.C.
When I get to heaven, I'm gonna 
shake God's hand
N.C.
Thank him for more blessings than 
one man can stand
N.C.
Then I'm gonna get a guitar and 
start a rock-n-roll band
N.C.
Check into a swell hotel; ain't the 
afterlife grand?

[Chorus]
N.C.                       A        
          D
And then I'm gonna get a cocktail: 
vodka and ginger ale
                         G       
Yeah, I'm gonna smoke a cigarette 
                    D
that's nine miles long
                      A            
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on 
     D
the Tilt-A-Whirl
         G             A        
'Cause this old man is   goin' to 
   D
town

[Verse 2]
D                            
Then as God as my witness, I'm 
                      G
gettin' back into showbusiness
                  A
I'm gonna open up a nightclub called
 "The Tree of Forgiveness"
And forgive everybody ever done me 
         D
any harm

Why, I might even invite a few 
                     G          
choice critics, those syphilitic 
            A
parasitics
Buy 'em a pint of Smithwick's and 
                         D
smother 'em with my charm

[Chorus]
N.C.                         A      
             D
'Cause then I'm gonna get a 
cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
                         G       
Yeah, I'm gonna smoke a cigarette 
                    D
that's nine miles long
                      A            
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on 
     D
the Tilt-A-Whirl
       G             A           D
Yeah this old man is   goin' to town

[Interlude]
A            D            
   Da da-da da-da da   Ba da 
    G                      D
da-da-da da-da   ba da da-da
            A

[Verse 3]
N.C.                      G         
                                  A
Yeah when I get to heaven,  I'm 
gonna take that wristwatch off my 
arm
What are you gonna do with time 
                             D
after you've bought the farm?
And them I'm gonna go find my mom 
        G
and dad,  and good old brother Doug
    A                              
Why I'll bet him and cousin Jackie 
                          D
are still cuttin' up a rug
I wanna see all my mama's sisters,  
G
 'cause that's where all the love 
starts
               A                
I miss 'em all like crazy, bless 
                     D
their little hearts
And I always will remember these 
     G
words my daddy said
        N.C.                        
                           A
He said, "Buddy, when you're dead, 
you're a dead pecker-head"
I hope to prove him wrong... that 
                         D
is, when I get to heaven

[Chorus]
N.C.                         A      
             D
'Cause then I'm gonna get a 
cocktail: vodka and ginger ale
                         G       
Yeah, I'm gonna smoke a cigarette 
                    D
that's nine miles long
                     A             
I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on 
     D
the Tilt-A-Whirl
        G             A        
Yeah, this old man is   goin' to
