HEAVEN IS A HONKY TONK -- Ray LaMontagne This is a song Ray did on Austin City Limits. You can find the video on YouTube, among places, though I don't think it's been released on an album yet. Tuning: Standard capo II Chords used (relative to capo) e|---0------1-----3-----0---| B|---1------1-----0-----1---| G|---0------2-----0-----3---| D|---2------3-----0-----2---| A|---3------3-----2-----3---| E|---3------x-----3-----x---| (Verse 1) All my heroes have gone to heaven Where all them saints wear flaming shoes The junkies and the whores are behind them pearly doors I guess i'm going to go to heaven too (Verse 2) Now all my heroes have gone to heaven Where all them richeous joes take to shoveling coal The killers and the cons The pushers and the pawns With halos, wings just hovering over paths of gold (Chorus) so mama don't you cry when i'm dead and gone cause jesus loves his sinners and heaven is a honky tonk --- (Verse 3) Now all my heros have gone to heaven The liars and the gamblers and the fools The drunkards and the thieves All wearing silk upon their sleeves And every gal is like a silver pearl in bloom (Chorus) So mama don't you cry When i'm dead and gone Cause jesus loves his sinners And heaven is a honky tonk So mama don't you cry When i'm dead and gone Cause jesus loves his sinners And heaven is a honky tonk And heaven is a honky tonk
