Intro.:   (D) x 8 bars

He (D)yelled out from the back row, (Bm)Look here, (A)preacher (D)man, 
We all know you're new here, but you (Bm) need to under-(A)stand
(D)It don't really scare us when you (G)yell and (A)shake your (Bm)fist
You see, (D)we already (A)know that Hell ex-(G)ists"

(Chorus)
It's (G)six months short of thirty years when the boss man lays you off
No (D)thankin' you, no parachute, no shiny (Bm)new gold (A)watch
It's (D)payments that you (Em)can't make on a (F#)house that you can't (G) sell
See, a (Bm)man don't have to (A)die to go to (G)Hell
No, (Bm)you don't have to (A)die to go to (D)Hell

So (D)tell us about them angels, how they (Bm)fly a-(A)round and (D)sing
And (D)tell us how to get there, as (Bm)we all wanna (A)be
Resting (D) in the arms of Jesus, no (G)shame or (A)pain or (Bm)tears
There's (D)Hell enough to (A)go around (G)down here

(Chorus)
It's a (G)place out by the airport where the girls dance just for you
And (D)all you feel is drunk and broke and alone (Bm)when they're (A)through
It's (D)wakin' up in (Em)nothin' but that (F#)stale tobacco (G) smell
See, a (Bm)man don't have to (A)die to go to (G)Hell
No, (Bm)you don't have to (A)die to go to (D)Hell

(Bm)Ooh ooh (G)ooh ooh (D)oooh, (Bm)ooh ooh (G)ooh ooh (A)oooh

(Chorus)
It's (G)every other weekend and Wednesdays with your kid
(D)Knowin' that he'll hate you when he finds out (Bm)what you (A)did
'Cause you'd (D)all still be to-(Em)gether if you'd (F#)loved his mama (G) well
There ain't (Bm)no end to the (A)stories we can (G)tell
Yeah, a (Bm)man don't have to (A)die to go to (D)Hell

So (D)tell us about them (Em)angels, how they (F#)fly around and (G) sing

Outro.:  (Bm)Ooh ooh (G)ooh ooh (D)oooh --- Repeat to fade
