Capo 2
G D
Funeral service sittin’ in the pew, I was fightin’ tears listening to
C D
The preacher talk about where Granddaddy’d gone
G D
It sounded like a pretty nice place where angels sing “Amazing Grace”
C D
And everyone gets a mansion to call home
Em D C Em D C
And I know that’s where he went and I’m sure he’ll fit right in
Chorus 1
G D
If there’s a cattle guard at the pearly gates and the air smells like fresh cut hay
C D
And Grandma’s chicken frying on the stove
G D
He won’t take a mansion if he get’s to choose, he’ll ask the Lord for a front porch view
C D
From that old farm house that he never sold
C D G
Just put it off the beaten path and set it way back down a golden gravel road
G D
We buried him in his cowboy boots just the way he asked us to
C D
So he could meet the Lord the way he was
Em D C
And I’ll bet as soon as he walked in
Em D C
He found a fence he could mend
Chorus 2:
G D
If there’s a cattle guard at the pearly gates and the air smells like fresh cut hay
C D
And Grandma’s chicken frying on the stove
G D
He won’t take a mansion if he get’s to choose, he’ll ask the Lord for a front porch view
C D
From that old farm house that he never sold
C D Em
Just put it off the beaten path and set it way back down a golden gravel road
Bridge:
D C D
And I think everyone sees heaven a little bit differently
C D
And as for me
Chorus 3:
I see a cattle guard at the pearly gates and Granddaddy bailing some fresh cut hay
And Grandma’s chicken frying on the stove
I won’t take a mansion if he let’s me choose, I’ll ask the Lord for a front porch view
From that old farmhouse Granddaddy never sold
Just put it off the beaten path and set it way back down a golden gravel road
Down a golden gravel road
