As I rise on that heavenly tide?

And those words left so often unsaid

Then I could hear a voice whispering softly,
CC
?Could I have all your stuff when your dead??

?Could I have your TV and your pickup?
C
And I?ve always admired your shoes.
G
Could I have that old dining room table?
C
And there?s a couple of chairs I could use.?
GD7
?Well, you know that you?re headed to glory,
G
And like a star, up to heaven you?ll shoot
CG
When they write the last page of your story,
CC
Could I try on that seersucker suit??

His breath had just come from a funeral

For a mouth full of teeth that had died.

When you pass through those gates, and they hand you your wings,

Could I have all your stuff when you die?

But the angels consulted St. Peter

And flew me back to my hospital bed.

And the angels took Tommy instead.
