When ^BbmI was young And ^Bbmscared of the Lord My ^Ebmmother would sing me a ^Bbmsong A ^Bbmtune that I keep in a sacred place Cause I ^Ebmknow that my life won't be ^Bbmlong It ^Gmtells of the place where you ^Dbgo When your ^Ebmtime here on earth is t^Bbmhrough A b^Gbeautiful place we call hea^Dbven

Please God I pray that it's true ^Bbm 'Cause ^Bbmonce this land was heaven on earth ^EbmGreen hills were all you could ^Bbmsee But ^Bbmnow it's soot and steel and brick So it ^Ebmlooks more like hell to ^Bbmme And ^Gbeach day brings more and more suf^Dbfering And ^Ebmeach night is silence and ^Bbmfear

And I ^Gbwake to the sound of your ^Dbvoice But you're not h^Fmere Why aren't you he^Bbmre? So ^Bbmnow I lay me down to sleep ^EbmI pray the lord My ^Bbmsoul to keep Please ^Bbmlet me die before I wake So the ^EbmLord my soul, can ^Bbmtake Then ^Gbmaybe I'll finally f^Dbind you '^EbmMidst the beauty of par^Bbmadise And you'll s^Gbing not of dying But ^Dbliving Wouldn't that be nic^Fme? Wouldn't that be ni^Bbmce?
