[Verse 1]
         Gm                            Dm
Well I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go
            Gm
I hope it's something quiet, minor,
                D#maj7/A#
peaceful and slow
        Gm                                Dm
When we float out into the ether into the everlasting arms
          Gm                                        D#maj7/A#
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life

[Pre-Chorus]
              Gm            D#maj7/A#       A#             F
'Cause the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
           Gm            D#maj7/A#       A#             F
And the chains I've been hearin' now for most of my life
                 A#
Did you hear the fifty nine sound

[Chorus]
                     D#maj7/A#
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
                    Gm
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
F                  D#maj7/A#
 In the hospital walls?     
                  A#
Did you hear the old gospel choir
                     D#maj7/A#
When they came to carry       you over?
                    Gm
Did you hear your favorite song
F           D#maj7/A#
 One last time?      

[Verse 2]
        Gm
And I wonder,
                         Dm
were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
          Gm
See I was playing a show down the road when your spirit
            D#maj7/A#
left your body
         Gm
And they told me on the front lawn,
    Dm
I'm sorry I couldn't go
      Gm
But I still know the song and the words and her name and
       D#maj7/A#
the reasons

[Pre-Chorus]
         Gm               D#maj7/A#  A#            F
And I know 'cause we were kids and we  used to hang
         Gm               D#maj7/A#  A#            F
And I know 'cause we were kids and we  used to hang
                 A#
Did you hear the fifty nine sound

[Chorus]
                     D#maj7/A#
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
                    Gm
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
F                  D#maj7/A#
 In the hospital walls?     
                  A#
Did you hear the old gospel choir
                     D#maj7/A#
When they came to carry       you over?
                    Gm
Did you hear your favorite song
F           D#maj7/A#
 One last time?

F  Gm              D#maj7/A# A#      F
 Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
  Gm              D#maj7/A# A#      F
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
            Gm              D#maj7/A# A#      F
Well they ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
  Gm              D#maj7/A# A#      F
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night
                 A#
Did you hear the fifty nine sound

[Chorus]
                     D#maj7/A#
Coming through on Grandmama's radio?
                    Gm
Did you hear the rattlin' chains
F                  D#maj7/A#
 In the hospital walls?
                  A#
Did you hear the old gospel choir
                     D#maj7/A#
When they came to carry       you over?
                    Gm
Did you hear your favorite song
F           D#maj7/A#
 One last time?
