Hoyt Axton- Rusty Old Halo
***RWJ TAB***
[E]I know a man, rich as a king, [B] still he just won't give his
[E]neighbors a thing, He'll get up to heaven [A]someday I bet, [B]he ll get
up to heaven and [E]here's what he'll get
Chorus
[E]A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud, [B]second hand wings full of
[E]patches, [E]A rusty old halo, [A]skinny white cloud, a [B]robe that's so
wooly that it [E]scratches.
[E]Some people have them big fancy cars, [B]swimming pools, fur coats,
and [E]diamonds in jars, real silver gates, [A]real golden doors, [B]they'll
get up to heaven and [E]trade them all for
Chorus
[E]While you're on earth you should shine like a star, [B]brighten up
the corner where [E]ever you are,doing each day the [A]best you can do,
[B]that way you'll be sure they'll[E]never hand you
Chorus
