[Verse 1]
G I don’t often fret C G About my own demise G But I also believe D G In being prepared G So besides my own plot C G An urn and a funeral
There’s one other thing
D Em I hereby declare
[Chorus]
C Oh Heavenly Father C Bm7 I will need a passport C To go back and forth D G Between heaven and hell C You see my Mom's in one place Bm7 And my Dad’s in another C As for me I’m not dead yet D G So it’s too soon to tell.
[Verse 2]
G My momma will make me C G Spaghetti and meatballs G And want me to meet D G All of her brand new friends G They’ll be writers and artists C G Musicians and poets
And she’ll be the happiest
D G That she’s ever been
[Verse 3]
G And after our visit C G I will use my new passport
To head down on over
D G And visit my Dad G I will stand in long lines C G With lots of sad people
While a grumpy conductor’s
D Em Readin’ help wanted ads
[Chorus]
C Oh Heavenly Father C Bm7 I will need a passport C To go back and forth D G Between heaven and hell C You see my Mom's in one place Bm7 And my Dad’s in another C As for me I’m not dead yet D G So it’s too soon to tell.
[Verse 4]
G My Daddy will tell me C G “Son you’re no good for nuthin”
“How did you get a passport?”
D G “And can you get me mine?” G “And oh by the way” C G “Do you have any money?”
“I will pay you back”
D Em “At the end of all time”
[Chorus]
C Oh Heavenly Father C Bm7 I will need a passport C To go back and forth D G Between heaven and hell C You see my Mom's in one place Bm7 And my Dad’s in another C As for me I’m not dead yet D G So it’s too soon to tell.
[Verse 5]
G So like a good son C G I go lookin’ for money
In the bad side of town
D G And in hell don’t forget G Not the best place C G To be askin’ directions
That dude on the corner
D Em Was a charcoal briquette
[Chorus]
C Oh Heavenly Father C Bm7 I will need a passport C To go back and forth D G Between heaven and hell C You see my Mom's in one place Bm7 And my Dad’s in another C As for me I’m not dead yet D G So it’s too soon to tell.
[Verse 6]
G So I head straight on back C G To my dear old Dad
Only to find out
D G That he was long gone G He had stolen my passport C G And got him a ticket
One way with no stops
D G All the way to heaven
[Chorus]
C Oh Heavenly Father Bm7 You can keep your damn passport C I’m stayin right here D G To be with my friends C You see my Mom's in one place Bm7 And my Dads on his way C As for me with the living D G I for now choose to stay
