Steel guitar heaven Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I w[Em]ant t[A]o [D]go t[A]o[D]
steel guitar heaven
That's the only resting place for [A]me
I [Em]want to go to steel gui[A]tar Heaven
There's a [E]lot of swinging cats
I been [A]wanting to see
Like [Am]Joaquin Murphy an[D]d Jimmy Day
[G]Shake hands with Speedy and
[C]shout hoo[D]ray[A][B]
That's [Em]steel guitar [A]heaven to [D]me[A]
[D]I heard about steel guitar heaven
I'm going when [Bm]I die[A]
I [Em]heard Paul Bixby's been [A]waiting
He's [E]got something new [A]that
he wants me to try
[Am]Lt turns itself on [D]and tells you a joke
[G]Lights you a drink and [C]pours you a smoke
[A]Paul I don't think it's rea[D]dy![Bm]
[A]That's [Em]steel guitar [A]heaven to me
[D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
Well, folks, I think the good Lord must love steel players,
[Bm]He's made [E]so m[D]any [A]of them
Matter of fact, He's still [D]trying.
But the good Lord knows that the steel player's
[Bm]life on Earth [D]isn't often [G]easy,
So He's [Gm]set aside a [D]little corner of Heav[Bm]en,
[D]custom [A]made, just [D]for you.
First thing you'll notice,
[Bm]there's always plenty of c[E]ourteous free [Em]parking[D]
And don't it just seem like that old triple- [Bm]neck
ain't near [E]as heavy as it [A]used to be?
Step inside, [C]and you'll [D]find the [G]wall
s are covered in real knotty pine,
[C]And just tak[D]e a gander at all that luxurious hi-[E] lo shag,
con[G]tinuous filament,
[D]Nylon- pile, wall- to- wall carpeting. Our Lord chose green- and- gold,
my personal favourite.
The tables and chair[Bm]s are upholstered in[E] genuine naugahyde, and here our Lord ch[A]ose red,
I think [D]it's appropriate.
[F#]There's always a lot of cowboy carry[Bm]ing on up on the bandstand[E], and you're bound to hear some old familiar voices call[D]ing,
[A]man, look who's [Asus4]here, come on up [D]and sit on in.[E] It'[A]s C6th day aga[D]in.

[Verse 3]
You [D]can't get fired up in Heaven
Your union [A]card's all paid
There ain't no [Bm]bosses up in [A]heaven
I [E]heard Spade Cooley didn't
[A]make the grade
Everybody's got a [Em]Story [D]up in Heaven
[G]Some we all [D]know [C]well[Em]
[A]All [Bm]steel [D]players [Bm]go to Heaven
[A]Some just [Bm]go t[D]hrough h[A]ell
But the [D]Good Lord loves
each and every one
When your [G]ragtime cowboy
[C]days are don[A]e[Bm]
[A]Com[G]e up to [Em]steel guitar
[A]Heaven with [D]me
That's [B]steel [E]gui[B]tar [A]Heaven to me.
