_ [G] Well, I was living for the nightlife lost in the bright lights, [C] thinking that this world was my home.
Then I met a man who told me that he'd be glad to show me [D] how to straighten up and save my soul.
Well, [G] I don't know when I'm going, but I'm ready to go.
[C] Well, the sun is always shining and the streets are pure [D] gold.
Let me tell you, brother, what sounds like [F] heaven to me.
[G] I hope heaven has a hold down.
Dancing, [C] shouting, trying to throw down.
I hope [D] it's just beyond the pearl gates.
[G] There's swing fiddles and a sawdust stage.
I hope that somewhere up in heaven I can find an old guitar.
[C] I'll be singing, thank you, Lord, for saving honky-tonk [D] hearts.
On the day I'm glory bound, I hope heaven [G] has a hold down.

[G] Well, you might think it's far-fetched, but I'll [C] bet you yet the angels love a steel guitar.
[G]
We're gonna have a celebration full of singing and a praising.
We'll [D] be two-stepping through [E] the stars.
[G] I hope heaven has a hold down.

I hope they love to sing amazing grace.
How sweet [C] the sound.
How sweet the sound.
