[Intro]
Cmaj7, F, Cmaj7, F
[Verse]
My grandpa taught me about buck knifes and shot guns
Cmaj7
How to cast an old Zebco
G
And how to work a stick shift
Cmaj7 F
He taught me the bible about all twelve disciples
Cmaj7 G
And he made sure that I know there's life after this
Am F
With pearly gates and streets of gold
Cmaj7 F
He said if I just believe that's where I'll go
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 F
Lord when I die I wanna live
Cmaj7 F
On the outskirts of Heaven
Cmaj
Where there's dirt roads for miles
F G
Hay in the fields and fish in the river
Am
Where there's dogwood trees and honey bees
Cmaj7 F
And blue skies and green grass forever
Cmaj7 F Cmaj7 F
Lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
[Verse]
Cmaj7 F
Now it says in the King James in the Almighty's kingdom
Cmaj7 G
He mentions a mansion that he's built just for me
Am F
Now I'd gladly trade it for a farm house with acreage
Cmaj7 F
And a back yard that's shaded and a squeaky front porch swing
Am F
That's where I wanna hang my wings
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 F
Lord when I die I wanna live
Cmaj7 F
On the outskirts of Heaven
Cmaj
Where there's dirt roads for miles
F G
Hay in the fields and fish in the river
Am
Where there's dogwood trees and honey bees
Cmaj7 F
And blue skies and green grass forever
Cmaj7 F Cmaj7 F
Lord when I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
[Outro]
Am
Yeah, the good Lord knows me
G F
He knows I need blue skies and green grass forever
Cmaj7 F Cmaj7 F
Lord when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
Cmaj7 F Cmaj7
Yeah, when I die I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
