[Intro]

 C       F     C              F
Mmmmmmm mmmmmm   mmm mmm mmm mmm

    C
My grandpa taught me
       F
′Bout Buck knives and shotguns
        C
How to cast an old Zebco
        G
How to work a stick shift

    C
He taught me the Bible
       F
'Bout all 12 disciples
    C
He made sure that I know
         G
There′s life after this

      Dm
With pearly gates
     C
And streets of gold
          F
And if I just believe
        G
That's where I'll go

              C
Lord, when I die
         F                        C
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
                              C
Where there′s dirt roads for miles
                F                       G
And hay in the fields, and fish in the river

               Am
Where there′s dogwood trees, and honeybees
     G                             F
And blue skies, and green grass forever
                  C
So, Lord, when I die
         F                        C      F
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven

        C
Now it says in the King James
        F
In the Almighty's kingdom
    C
He mentions a mansion
           G
That he′s built just for me

   C
I gladly trade it
       F
For a farmhouse with acreage
       C
And a backyard that's shaded
       G
And a squeaky front-porch swing
                G
That′s where I wanna hang my wings

        C
When I die
         F                        C
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
                              C
Where there′s dirt roads for miles
                F                       G
And hay in the fields, and fish in the river

               Am
Where there′s dogwood trees, and honeybees
     G                             F
And blue skies, and green grass forever
                  C
So, Lord, when I die
         F                        C     C
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven

          Am
The good Lord knows me
                 G
He knows I need blue skies
                   F
And green grass forever
                 C
So, Lord when I die
             F                        C
And I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
              C

         F                              C
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
