[Intro]
E B F# B
[Verse 1]
B E
All my heroes are going to heaven
B F#
All the junkies and the liars and the fools
B E B
All good-timin' men will leave their voices on the wind
B F# B
It's a kindness we cannot repay to them
[Chorus]
E B E
There's a choir singin' in a southern accent, a fiddle in the band
B F# F#7
There's a "Hallelujah!" on the lips of every dying man
E B E B
Mama, don't you cry when they're dead and gone
E B F# B
Jesus, he loves his sinners and heaven is a honky tonk
E B F# B
Hoo-oo, hoo-oo, hoo-oo-oo
[Verse 2]
B
I won't say their names
E B
They've been said enough in vain
B F#
Just the memory and the thousand years of smiles
B
The lines around your eyes
E B
Tell me you're not far behind
F# B
But I can see the livin' free was worth the while
[Chorus]
E B E
There's a choir singin' in a southern accent, a fiddle in the band

Hoo-oo, hoo-oo, hoo-oo-oo
[Verse 3]
B E B
Happiness, they say is a jukebox that always plays
F#
And a lonesome heart ain't lonely anymore
B E B
Every soul that dare passed on is now covered in neon
F# B
They dance with silver wings on wooden floors
[Chorus]
