Shelby plays this with Capo2
Intro: to (Bnote) fingering, , / to CG,
Verse:
Chorus: Dmmaj7 Dmmaj7
In the recording Shelby will do this 4-line intro to the song - sing
strongly strumming (1strum) each chord of the verse :
There will come a day when they gather and stand around
Revel in the glory and my body in the ground
There will be disciples and a shroud that covers me
I won t be afraid cause my soul has been set free
Intro strum: - - - 4x
verse =
100 so miles from the Mobile River
Lord I can t have her so I got to kill her
Heaven s only days down the road
A liquor store down on the county line
Don t want all the land but what s next to mine
Heaven s only days down the road
Chorus:
I been insane since I was 9
Never was the cryin but the fightin kind
Dmmaj7
Oh yeah
Load up the gun full of regret
I ain t even pulled the trigger yet
Dmmaj7
Oh yeah
verse =
Lost all the faith a man can own
My hopes are empty and so is my soul
Heaven s only days down the road
Look at my fate in the paper now
I want to put her back but I don t know how
Heaven s only days down the road
Chorus
Nobody wants me down here no more
Look at what I did to make then hate me for
Oh yeah
Can t blame the whiskey or my Mammy s ways
2 little girls are better off this way
Oh yeah.
Play harder to to Ohhhh ooooo , , 4x
Oh heaven s only days down the road
Oh heaven s only days down the road.
Oh heaven s only days down the road.
to
Down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.
(two gunshots- I don t think the song would be the same without the demonstrative sound
at the end)
