The curtain of darkness is fallin’

G

And my friends are all here at my side.

C                                                    G

Are those the sweet voices of angels

G

As I rise on that heavenly tide?

A                                       D7



All hearts overflowin’ with sadness

G

And those words left so often unsaid

C                                                G

Then I could hear a voice whispering softly,

C                                                            G C

“Could I have all your stuff when your dead?”

G                                  D                         G C G



“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.”

G                                                         D7



“Well, you know that you’re headed to glory,

G

And like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot

C                                                        G

When they write the last page of your story,

C                                                             G C

Could I try on that seersucker suit?”

G                                   D          G C G

It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas.

G

He was kneelin’ down close by my side.

C                                                      G

His breath had just come from a funeral

G

For a mouth full of teeth that had died.

A                                                   D7



Well, I prayed my last prayer for salvation.

G

I was feelin’ the touch of God’s hand.

C                                                  G

But I could still hear the voice of my brother

C                                                           G  C

As they struck up that old angel band.

G                                   D              G C G



“Could I have your old ski boots and surf board?

C

And maybe that four-poster bed?

G

Would you mind if I took a few records?

C

Just Nirvana, The Stones, and the Dead.”

G                                                    D7



Well, you know that you can’t take it with you

G

To your heavenly home up on high.

C                                                G

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

C                                                                         G                   C

Could I have all your stuff when you die?

G                                  D                    G C G







But the angels consulted St. Peter

C

And flew me back to my hospital bed.

G                                                    D

My life was a new day a-dawning,

G                                         C

And the angels took Tommy instead. 

G                                   C            G C G
