(No Capo)

(Intro.)
|(G7) / / / | x 8

(Verse 1)
Now you (G7)tell me that there are streets of gold and angels in the (C)air
Now (D)all that's fine and dandy and I'm sure it's nice up (G7)there
There's just (G7)one thing that I need to know 'fore I (G/B)settle down (C)
Can I (D)take my hounds to heaven, can I hunt on God’s (G7) ground

(Verse 2)
Now you (G7)say if I quit drinking and try to (G/B)toe the (C)line
I can (D)make it up to glory at the end of my (G7)life
And while (G7)whiskey's hard to throw away something I (G/B)try to (C)do
If (D)I could spend forever running round treeing (G7)coon's

(Chorus)
But if I can't (C)take my hounds to heaven, If I can't (G7)hunt on God's land
I'd (G7)rather load my dog box up and go to (C)hell with all my (D)friends
Now I'll (G7)wake up in the morning and follow (G/B)you to (C)town
If I can (D)take my hounds to heaven, if I can hunt on God’s (G7) ground

(Solo)

(Verse 3)
Now you (G7)say if I quit smoking and my rough and rowdy (C)ways
We can (D)hold the hands forever on streets of gold some-(G7)day
But the (G7)only way I can stand it now and I hate to (G/B)say it's (C)true
(D) When you gimme a hard time, I can do what I wanna (G7)do

(Chorus)
If I can't (C)take my hounds to heaven, if I can't (G7)hunt on God's land
                                                              D7
Then I'd (G7)rather load my dog box up and go to (C)hell with all my (D)friends
Now I'll (G7)wake up in the morning and follow (G/B)you to (C)town
If I can (D)take my hounds to heaven, if I can hunt on God’s (G7) ground
If I can (D)take my hounds to heaven, if I can hunt on God's (G7) ground
