Am E
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
Am Fmaj7/C
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
Am E
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
Am Fmaj7/C
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
Am Fmaj7/C C G
See these chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
Am Fmaj7/C C G
These chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmama's radio?
Am G Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
C Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Am G Fmaj7/C
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
[Verse]
Am E
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
Am Fmaj7/C
See, I was playing a show down the road when your spirit left your body.
Am E
And they told me on the front lawn. I'm sorry I couldn't go,
Am Fmaj7/C
But I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
Am Fmaj7/C C G
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
Am Fmaj7/C C G
I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmama's radio?
Am G Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
C Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Am G Fmaj7/C
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
[Bridge]
Am Fmaj7/C C G Am Fmaj7/C C G
Tell all the young boys, young girls,
Am Fmaj7/C C G Am Fmaj7/C C G
all the Young boys, young girls,
Am Fmaj7/C C G
That you ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Am Fmaj7/C C G
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Am Fmaj7/C C G
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Am Fmaj7/C C G
You weren't supposed to leave my life,
[Chorus]
C Fmaj7/C
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmama's radio?
