59 Sound

Bm F# Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go Bm G I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow Bm F# when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms, Bm G I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life Bm G D A 'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life A G Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio? Bm A G Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls? D G Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over? Bm A G Did you hear your favorite song one last time? Bm F# And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass? Bm See, I was playing a show down the road G when your spirit left your body Bm And they told me on the front lawn F# I'm sorry I couldn't go, Bm F but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons Bm G D A And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang Bm G D A And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang Bm G D A Young boys Bm G D A Young girls Bm G D A Young boys Bm G D A D Young girls
