Trying To Get To Heaven(Chords)

	        

 

    G              A      G 
The air is getting hotter 
                          D 
There's a rumbling in the skies 
G                                A 
I've been wading through the high  muddy water 
         G                      D 
With the heat rising through my eyes 
Bm                          G 
Every day your memory grows dimmer 
E                                D 
It doesn't hurt me like it did before 
G                             A 
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere 
G                                   D 
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door 

G             A        G 
People on the platforms 
                D 
Waiting for the trains 
G                         A 
I can hear their hearts a-beatin' 
     G                     D 
Like pendulums swinging on chains 
Bm                                G 
When you think that you lost everything 
         Em                               D 
You find out you can always lose a little more 
G                       A 
I'm just going down the road feeling bad 
G A  G                                   D 
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door 
G A  G                                   D 
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door 

G                  A    G 
I'm going down the river 
              D 
Down to New Orleans 
G                                A 
They tell me everything is gonna be all right 
      G                                D 
But I don't know what 'all right' even means 
Bm                    G     
I close my eyes and I wonder boys 
E                                D 
If everything is as hollow as it seems 
G                       A 
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down 
G                                           D 
Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door 
G A  G                                   D 
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door 
G A  G                                   D 
Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door

Oooh trying to get to heaven before they close the door . . .
