INTRO: (G-A-B) C C G C    G C G C G

The curtain of darkness is fallin’
G
And my friends are all here at my side.
C                                                    G
Are those the sweet voices of angels
G
As I rise on that heavenly tide?
A                                       D7

All hearts overflowin’ with sadness
G
And those words left so often unsaid
C                                                G
Then I could hear a voice whispering softly,
C                                                            G C

“Could I have your TV and your pickup?
C
And I’ve always admired your shoes.
G
Could I have that old dining room table?
C
And there’s a couple of chairs I could use.”
G                                                         D7

“Well, you know that you’re headed to glory,

And like a star, up to heaven you’ll shoot
C                                                        G
When they write the last page of your story,
C                                                             G C
Could I try on that seersucker suit?”

It was the voice of my dear brother Thomas.
G
He was kneelin’ down close by my side.
C                                                      G
His breath had just come from a funeral
G
For a mouth full of teeth that had died.
A                                                   D7

Well, I prayed my last prayer for salvation.
G
I was feelin’ the touch of God’s hand.
C                                                  G
But I could still hear the voice of my brother
C                                                           G  C
As they struck up that old angel band.
G                                   D              G C G

“Could I have your old ski boots and surf board?
C
And maybe that four-poster bed?
G
Would you mind if I took a few records?
C
Just Nirvana, The Stones, and the Dead.”
G                                                    D7

Well, you know that you can’t take it with you
G
To your heavenly home up on high.
C                                                G
When you pass through those gates, and they hand you your wings,
C                                                                         G                   C
Could I have all your stuff when you die?
G                                  D                    G C G



But the angels consulted St. Peter
C
And flew me back to my hospital bed.
G                                                    D
My life was a new day a-dawning,
G                                         C
And the angels took Tommy instead. 
G                                   C            G C G
