[Verse 1]
[C]After [F]I died, and the makeup had dried
I went [Gm]back to [C]my [F]place[C]
No moon that [F]night
But a heavenly light shone [C]on my [F]face
[C]Still I

[Verse 2]
thought it was [F]odd
[C]There was [F]no sign of God just
to [C]usher me [F]in[C]
Then a voice from [F]above
Sugar coated with love, said,
[C]"let us [F]begin"
[C]You got to

[Verse 3]
fill out a form first
And then you wait in the line
You got to fill out a form first
And then you wait in the [G]line[C]

[Verse 4]
Okay, a [C]new kid in school
Got to follow the rule
You got to learn the routine
Woah, there's a girl over there
With [Gm]the sunshiny hair,
[C]like a homecomin' queen

[Verse 5]
I said, [C]"hey, what you say?
It's a glorious day,
By the way how [Gm]long you
been [C]dead?"
Maybe you, maybe me
[Gm]Maybe baby [C]makes three
But she just shook her head

[Verse 6]
You got to [C]fill out a form [F]first
[C]And then you wait in the lin[G]e[C][F]
[C]You got to fill out a form fir[F]st[C]
[Bb]And then[C] you wait in[G][C][F][C][F][C][F][C]
[F]the[Bb][C][G][C][F][C][F][C]
line

[Verse 7]
Buddah and Moses and [C]all [Csus4]the
[C]noses from narrow to flat
Had to stand in the line
Just to [Bb]glimpse the divine
What you [C]think about [Gm]that?[C][Gm][C]

[Verse 8]
Well it [C]seems like our fate [Gm]to suffer
And wait [Bb]for the k[C]nowledge
we [G]seek[Gsus4][C]
It's all his design, [Gm]no one cuts in th[F]e line
No one [C]here, likes [Bb]a sneak[C]

[Verse 9]
You got to [C]fill out a form [G]first[Gsus4]
[G]And then you wai[C]t in the lin[Gsus4]e
You [C]got to fill out a form [G]first
And [C]then you wait in the [G]line[C]

[Verse 10]
[C]After you climb, up the [Gm]ladder of [C]time
[F]The[C] Lord God is[Gm]
[Gsus4]here[C]
Face to face, in the [Gm]vastness of [C]space
Your words [Gsus4]disappear[C]

[Verse 11]
And you [C]feel like swimming
in an [Gm]ocean of love,
And the [C]current [Gsus4]is strong[C]
But all that remains
When you [Gm]try to ex[F]plain is a
[C]fragment of [F]song[C]

[Verse 12]
Lord is it, [C]be bop a lu [F]la
[C]Or ooh poppa do[G][C]
Lord, be bop a lu la or ooh poppa do

[Outro 1]
Be bop a lu la
