Trying To Get To Heaven chords for acoustic guitar
David Bowie (Bob Dylan) *

Capo II

    G              A      GThe air is getting hotter
                          DThere's a rumbling in the skies
G                                AI've been wading through the high  muddy water
         G                      DWith the heat rising through my eyes
Bm                          GEvery day your memory grows dimmer
E                                DIt doesn't hurt me like it did before
G                             AI've been walking through the middle of nowhere
G                                   DTrying to get to heaven before they close the door

G             A        GPeople on the platforms
                DWaiting for the trains
G                         AI can hear their hearts a-beatin'
     G                     DLike pendulums swinging on chains
Bm                                GWhen you think that you lost everything
         Em                               DYou find out you can always lose a little more
G                       AI'm just going down the road feeling bad
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

D  G F       G   DOooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

G                  A    GI'm going down the river
              DDown to New Orleans
G                                AThey tell me everything is gonna be all right
      G                                DBut I don't know what "all right" even means
Bm                    G    I close my eyes and I wonder boys
E                                DIf everything is as hollow as it seems
G                       AI been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
G                                           DNow I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door
G A  G                                   DOooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door . . .
