Verse-
        Am                              Em
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
            Am                                         F
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
        Am                                 Em
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
          Am                                      F
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.

'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life.



Chorus-
                 C                             F
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? 
                  Am            G                  F
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
                  C                                  F
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
                  Am           G         F
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?



Verse-
And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass? 
See, I was playing a show down the road 
when your spirit left your body. 
And they told me on the front lawn. 
I'm sorry I couldn't go, 
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang. 

[Chorus]

Young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night. 

[Chorus]
