VERSE
Em Bm C Em
My pulse says 23 beats an hour - that can?t be right
Em Bm C Em
Maybe that?s why I?m falling asleep here at the traffic light
Em Bm C Em
I can?t hear a word you say but I can see you from the corner of my eye
Em Bm C Em
One hand out the window, Lord, and my brain?s up in the sky
VERSE
Em Bm C Em
When I awake my hands vibrate just like a banjo string
Em Bm C Em
Radio station coming in I can hear the choir sing
Em Bm C Em
Some kind of song that sounds just like "When the Levee Breaks"
Em Bm C Em
Bassoons and timpanis join in what a ruckus those things make
G Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F G
I think I hear the undertaker?s song
G Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F G Em
We?re going to reach the gates before too long
VERSE
Em Bm C Em
When I arose I was exposed to the fabled bright lights
Em Bm C Em
All the harp players? robes were pressed and clean and white
Em Bm C Em
Plucking out a tune that I know now was "In My Time of Dying"
Em Bm C Em
When they issued me my wings I set straight out flying
G Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F G
I think I hear the undertaker?s song
G Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F G Em
We?re going to reach the gates before too long
Em Bm CEm
BRIDGE
C Am Em
If my halo should ever lose its shine
C Am Em
Help me to find a new one somewhere
C Am Em
If my wings should fail me my Lord
C Am Em
Please won?t you meet me with another pair?
C AmEm
G Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F G
I think I hear the undertaker?s song
G Am
Lock the doors and hang on,
F G Em
We?re going to reach the gates before too long
F G Em
I think I hear the undertaker?s song
F G Em
Yeah, I think I hear the undertaker?s song
