G                               Am     D
If all the doors were closed in heaven

                           G
Where would all the angels go?

                              Am   D
Would they just fly around forever

                               G
Or would they come down here below?

C                                    G
If the pearly gates were closed this morning

B7                           Em    Em D C
Would there be angels here tonight?

               D                 G       Am
And would they live their lives among us

              D                   G     C D G
And share the darkness with their light?

G                              Am     D
If all the doors were close in heaven

                                 G
They'd have to close the road to hell

                                 Am    D
We'd all be stuck here with each other

                               G
There would be nowhere else to dwell

C                                    G
If the pearly gates were closed this morning

B7                        Em    Em D C
And everyone there had to leave

              D             G      Am
And death was nothing but a moment

           D                   G       C D G
Beyond the breaths you took to breathe

G                               Am     D
If all the doors were closed in heaven

                       G
Who would dare abuse a child

                       Am     D
Or let a little kid go hungry

                       G
Or not return a simple smile

C                                    G
If the pearly gates were closed this morning

B7                                Em    Em D C
And the host of heaven was on the street

         D                   G         Am
I wonder if they'd look much different

         D                G   C D G
From the likes of you and me

G                                 Am     D
So I hope they close the doors to heaven

                       G
And all the angels up above

                       Am      D
Come and build a home among us

                        G    
Remind us what it is to love

C                                    G
If the pearly gates were closed this morning

B7                           Em    Em D C
Would there be angels here tonight?

               D                 G       Am
And would they live their lives among us

              D                   G     C D G
And share the darkness with their light?
