Lyrics

[Intro]
B/F# Badd9/F# B/F# E B/F#   Badd9/F# B/F# E
Mmm,                     mmm

[Verse 1]
   B/F#                    E
My grandpa taught me about buck knives and shotguns
       B/F#
How to cast an old Zebco,
       F#
how to work a stick shift
   B/F#
He taught me the Bible,
      E
about all twelve disciples
       B/F#                          F#
And he made sure that I know there's life after this

[Pre-Chorus]
     C#m
With pearly gates
B/F#
Streets of gold
             E
He said if I just believe
         F#
That’s where I’ll go

[Chorus]
But Lord,
       B/F#   Badd9/F# B/F#    E                    B/F#
when I die, I wan_____na__ live on the outskirts of Heaven
Badd9/F#
B/F#                Badd9               B/F#
    Where there’s dirt roads for miles
                     E                F#
And hay in the fields and fish in the river
                G#m
Where there’s dogwood trees and honeybees
    F#             F#6           E
And blue skies and green grass forever
                 B/F#
So, Lord, when I die 
            E                    B/F#
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven

[Verse 2]
E       B/F#
 Now it says in the King James,
       E
in the almighty’s kingdom
   B/F#                       F#
He mentions a mansion that he built just for me
         B/F#                  E
Now I'll gladly trade it for a farm house with acreage
      B/F#
And a back yard that's shaded,
      F#
and a squeaky front porch swing
That’s where I wanna hang my wings

[Chorus]
       B/F#             E                    B/F#
When I die, I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
                Badd9               B/F#
Where there’s dirt roads for miles
                     E                F#
And hay in the fields and fish in the river
                G#m
Where there’s dogwood trees and honeybees
    F#                           E
And blue skies and green grass forever
                 B/F#
So, Lord, when I die 
        E                        B/F#
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven

[Outro]
         G#m
The good Lord knows me
                F#                           E
He knows I need blue skies and green grass forever
                B/F#
So, Lord when I die 
            E                    B/F#
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
             B/F#
Yeah, when I die 
        E                              B/F#
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
