Jersey On The Wall chords by Townes Tenille

[Intro]
C Am F G
 
[Verse]
          C
There’s a jersey on the wall
                 Am
In a high school gym in my home town
       F
In the corner by the scoreboard
          G
Where the bleacher seats fold down
       C
twenty seven took the tigers
       Am
to the finals that year
    F                           G
but that’s not why it’s hanging there
 
[Chorus]
     C
If I ever get to heaven
                 Am
You know I got a long list of questions
     F
like how do you make a snowflake
        G
are you angry when the Earth quakes
             C
how does the sky change in a minute
           Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning
    Am               G        F
Why can‘t you stop a car from crashing
F                   G   C
forgive me I’m just asking
 
[Verse]
    C
I bet somewhere there‘s a yearbook
     Am
in a box under a bed
       F
with a senior picture missing
          G
in loving memory instead
    C
and somewhere there’s a mother
    Am
who stopped going to church
           F
cause your plan quit making sense
             G
Down here on Earth
 
[Chorus]
     C
If I ever get to heaven
                 Am
you know I got a long list of questions
     F
Like how do you make a snowflake
        G
are you angry when the Earth quakes
             C
how does the sky change in a minute
           Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning
    Am                     G        F
Why couldn’t you stop that car from crashing
F          G            Am
forgive me I’m just asking
 
[Bridge]
            F
oh I’m just saying
          C              G
You don’t have to answer now
       F
oh but someday
 
[Chorus]
     C
if I ever get to heaven
        Am
I got a long list of questions
     F
Like how do you make a snowflake
        G
are you angry when the Earth quakes
             C
how does the sky change in a minute
           Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning
          Am
if you’ve got your hands
   G               F
on everything that happens
         Am                     G        F
Then why couldn’t you stop that car from crashing
F                   G    C
forgive me I’m just asking
 
[Outro]
    Am  F     G      C
oh I’m just asking
