(Verse)
My (C)grandpa taught me ′bout (F)Buck knives and shotguns
How to (C)cast an old Zebco, how to (G)work a stick shift
He (C)taught me the Bible, 'bout (F)all 12 disciples
He (C)made sure that I know there′s (G)life after this
With (Dm)pearly gates and (C)streets of gold
And if I (F)just believe, that's (G)where I'll go - - -

(Chorus)
Lord, when I (C)die
I wanna (F)live on the outskirts of (C)Heaven
Where there′s dirt roads for (C)miles
And hay in the (F)fields, and fish in the (G)river
Where there′s (Am)dogwood trees, and honeybees
And (G)blue skies, and green grass for-(F)ever
So, Lord, when I (C)die
I wanna (F)live on the outskirts of (C)Heaven (F)

(Verse)
Now it (C)says in the King James in the (F)Almighty's kingdom
He (C)mentions a mansion that he′s (G)built just for me
I (C)gladly trade it for a (F)farmhouse with acreage
And a (C)backyard that's shaded, and a (G)squeaky front-porch swing
That′s where I (G)wanna hang my wings

(Chorus)
When I (C)die
I wanna (F)live on the outskirts of (C)Heaven
Where there′s dirt roads for (C)miles
And hay in the (F)fields, and fish in the (G)river
Where there′s (Am)dogwood trees, and honeybees
And (G)blue skies, and green grass for-(F)ever
So, Lord, when I (C)die
I wanna (F)live on the outskirts of (C)Heaven

(Outro.)
The good (Am)Lord knows me
He knows I need (G)blue skies
And green grass for-(F)ever
So, Lord when I (C)die
And I wanna (F)live on the outskirts of (C)Heaven
Lord, when I (C)die
I wanna live (F) on the outskirts of Heaven (C) - - - - -
