In the recording Shelby will do this 4-line intro to the song - sing

strongly strumming (1strum) each chord of the verse :

There will come a day when they gather and stand around

Revel in the glory and my body in the ground

There will be disciples and a shroud that covers me

I won't be afraid cause my soul has been set free

Intro strum

Am- Em- Dm - 4x

 verse = Am Em Dm

100 so miles from the Mobile River

Lord I can't have her so I got to kill her

Heaven's only days down the road

A liquor store down on the county line

Don't want all the land but what's next to mine

Heaven's only days down the road

Chorus

G7sus4I been insane since I was 9

AsusNever was the cryin' but the fightin' kind

DmOh yeah Dmmaj7

G7sus4Load up the gun full of regret

AsusI ain't even pulled the trigger yet

DmOh yeah Dmmaj7

 verse = Am Em Dm

Lost all the faith a man can own

My hopes are empty and so is my soul

Heaven's only days down the road

Look at my fate in the paper now

I want to put her back but I don't know how

Heaven's only days down the road

Chorus

Nobody wants me down here no more

Look at what I did to make then hate me for

Oh yeah

Can't blame the whiskey or my Mammy's ways

2 little girls are better off this way

Oh yeah.

 Play harder Am to Em to Dm Ohhhh ooooo Am, Em, Dm 4x

 Oh heAmaven's only days dEmown the road Dm

Oh heaven's only days down the road.

Oh heaven's only days down the road.

Am to Em

Down the road.

Down the road.

Down the road.

(two gunshots- I don't think the song would be the same without the demonstrative sound

at the end)
