[Intro] D Em D Em D Em G A G C G C G C Em A [Verse 1]
D             G     D             G
The old paper mill stinks up the beaches

D           G        Em     A
As I walk along the ocean shore.

D           G          D               G
I'm just a plain man  thoughts full of creases 

D                     G          Em        A
Haven't accomplished much  but I dream of more.
[Chorus]
G            A       D           C                      D  C
Mansions in heaven; I see myself walking with the King.

G                A           D       C      D        C
The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen.
[Verse 2]
D              G      D     G
I don't control much of my home life.

D              G                Em       A
I'm not an old man  but I'm not young anymore.

D                G         D           G
Haven't kept in contact with any of my good friends 

D                G                     Em            A
So I live with strangers and sleep on another man's floor.
[Chorus]
G            A       D           C                      D  C
Mansions in heaven; I see myself walking with the King.

G                A           D       C      D        C
The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen.
[Verse 3]
D             G             D              G
As I pack my suitbag  'cause soon I'll be leaving;

D                  G              Em            A
Going back to the Earth  which is where I come from.

D              G
Withstood the heartache 

D          G
Kept on believing;

D                    G
It ain't winning or losing 

           Em            A
Just the singing of the song.
[Chorus]
G            A       D           C                      D  C
Mansions in heaven; I see myself walking with the King.

G                A           D       C      D        C
The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen.
[Outro]
D             G     D            G
The old paper mill stinks up the beaches

D           G        Em     A
As I walk along the ocean shore.
