Sneakin Into Heaven


Sneakin' Into Heaven Chris Rice NOTE- much of the song is picked with a bass background- it's mostly correct as I see let me know if you come up with something else. Peace. Intro- Palm muted chug on the B chord (Verse) B D A City sidewalk, bright Saturday morning B D A Beggar with a halo shuffles up to me B D A He asks me for a coin, and mumbles, "Thank you, and God bless you." B D A Good deeds and halos not sure what I believe. F# He asks me, "Is there something I can give back to you? F# How 'bout this halo for an hour or two?" And now I'm... (Chorus) B D A Sneakin' into heaven with a borrowed halo B D A Hopin' no one notices my broken wings B D A Peekin' through these gates and thinkin' Lord have mercy! F# I'm never gonna make it if it's up to me! (Repeat Intro) (Verse) B D A 'Postle Peter, taps me on my shoulder B D A Says, "are you lost?" I say, "Can you show me around?" B D A "Well, I'd be glad to! Tell me, what brings you to heaven today?" B D A "I've always wondered what the fuss is all about." F# I feel like a kid flashin' a fake I.D. F# Tryin' to slip past the Authority! And now I'm... (Repeat Chorus) B D A Hey Mr. Pedro, I have a little confession B D A I don't belong here, and this halo isn't mine B D A Peter laughs and says, "Well, boy, haven't you noticed? B D A We've all been broken, but now we're doin' just fine! F# 'Cause nobody's good enough, and up here we're all the same. F# We all get to heaven under Someone Else's name!" (Repeat Chorus x2)
