The curtain of darkness is fallin’
GAnd my friends are all here at my side.
C                                                    GAre those the sweet voices of angels
GAs I rise on that heavenly tide?
A                                       D7

All hearts overflowin’ with sadness
GAnd those words left so often unsaid
C                                                GThen I could hear a voice whispering softly,
C                                                            G C“Could I have all your stuff when your dead?”

“Could I have your TV and your pickup?
CAnd I’ve always admired your shoes.

“Well, you know that you’re headed to glory,
GAnd like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot
C                                                        GWhen they write the last page of your story,

It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas.
GHe was kneelin’ down close by my side.
C                                                      GHis breath had just come from a funeral
GFor a mouth full of teeth that had died.
A                                                   D7

Well, I prayed my last prayer for salvation.
GI was feelin’ the touch of God’s hand.
C                                                  GBut I could still hear the voice of my brother
C                                                           G  CAs they struck up that old angel band.
G                                   D              G C G

“Could I have your old ski boots and surf board?
CAnd maybe that four-poster bed?
GWould you mind if I took a few records?
CJust Nirvana, The Stones, and the Dead.”
G                                                    D7

Well, you know that you can’t take it with you
GTo your heavenly home up on high.
C                                                GWhen you pass through those gates, and they hand you your wings,
C                                                                         G                   CCould I have all your stuff when you die?

But the angels consulted St. Peter
CAnd flew me back to my hospital bed.
G                                                    DMy life was a new day a-dawning,
