Intro
or for those who prefer a simpler way...
Verse
Guitar 1
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life
PM . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
PM . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chorus
Guitar 1
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
Verse
Guitar 1
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
See, I was playing a show down the road
when your spirit left your body
And they told me on the front lawn
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang
