Am Am                              E E
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
Am Am F F
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow
Am Am E E
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
Am Am F F
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life
Am Am F F C C G G
'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life




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



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

Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night

Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night

Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
