Arlo Guthrie - Doors of heaven

^GIf all the doors were closed in ^Amheaven ^D Where would all the angels ^Ggo? Would they just fly around for^Amever ^D Or would they come down here be^Glow?

^CIf the pearly gates were closed this ^Gmorning ^B7Would there be angels here to^Emnight?^{Em D C} And would they ^Dlive their lives a^Gmong us ^Am And share the ^Ddarkness with their ^Glight?^{C D G}

^GIf all the doors were close in ^Amheaven ^D They'd have to close the road to ^Ghell We'd all be stuck here with each ^Amother ^D There would be nowhere else to ^Gdwell

^CIf the pearly gates were closed this ^Gmorning ^B7And everyone there had to ^Emleave ^{Em D C} And death was ^Dnothing but a ^Gmoment ^Am Beyond the ^Dbreaths you took to ^Gbreathe ^{C D G}

^GIf all the doors were closed in ^Amheaven ^D Who would dare abuse a ^Gchild Or let a little kid go ^Amhungry ^D Or not return a simple ^Gsmile

^CIf the pearly gates were closed this ^Gmorning ^B7And the host of heaven was on the ^Emstreet^{Em D C} I wonder ^Dif they'd look much ^Gdifferent ^Am From the ^Dlikes of you and ^Gme ^{C D G}

^GSo I hope they close the doors to ^Amheaven ^D And all the angels up a^Gbove Come and build a home a^Ammong us ^D Remind us what it is to ^Glove

^CIf the pearly gates were closed this ^Gmorning ^B7Would there be angels here to^Emnight?^{Em D C} And would they ^Dlive their lives a^Gmong us ^Am And share the ^Ddarkness with their ^Glight?^{C D G}
