(CHORUS) YOU CAN’T GET TO HEAVEN, IN A ROCKING CHAIR, ‘CAUSE A ROCKING CHAIR, DON’T GO NOWHERE. YOU CAN’T GET TO HEAVEN, IN A LIMOUSINE, ‘CAUSE THE LORD DON’T SELL NO GASOLINE.

YOU CAN'T GET TO HEAVEN WITH POWDER AND PAINT, IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE WHAT YOU AIN'T. "THAT'S ALL THERE IS, THERE AIN'T NO MORE," SAINT PETER SAID AS HE CLOSED THE DOOR. THERE'S ONE THING MORE I FORGOT TO TELL, IF YOU DON'T GO TO HEAVEN, YOU'LL GO TO HELL. I'LL PUT MY GRIEF UP ON THE SHELF, IF YOU WANT SOME MORE, MAKE 'EM UP YOURSELF. 4 AMERICA (PAUL SIMON) TOC D F#M BM D G D F#M BM LET US BE LOVERS WE’LL MARRY OUR FORTUNES TOGETHER I’VE GOT SOME REAL ESTATE HERE IN MY F#M7 B7 F#M E D BAG.
