[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 
Lord, when I die 
         F                              C 
I wanna live on the outskirts of Heaven
