GIf all the doors were closed in AmheavenD  
Where would all the angels Ggo?
Would they just fly around forAmeverD  
Or would they come down here beGlow?
CIf the pearly gates were closed this Gmorning
B7Would there be angels here toEmnight?Em  D  C  
And would they Dlive their lives aGmong usAm  
And share the Ddarkness with their Glight?C  D  G  
GIf all the doors were close in AmheavenD  
They'd have to close the road to Ghell
We'd all be stuck here with each AmotherD  
There would be nowhere else to Gdwell
CIf the pearly gates were closed this Gmorning
B7And everyone there had to EmleaveEm  D  C  
And death was Dnothing but a GmomentAm  
Beyond the Dbreaths you took to GbreatheC  D  G  
GIf all the doors were closed in AmheavenD  
Who would dare abuse a Gchild
Or let a little kid go AmhungryD  
Or not return a simple Gsmile
CIf the pearly gates were closed this Gmorning
B7And the host of heaven was on the EmstreetEm  D  C  
I wonder Dif they'd look much GdifferentAm  
From the Dlikes of you and GmeC  D  G  
GSo I hope they close the doors to AmheavenD  
And all the angels up aGbove
Come and build a home aAmmong usD

And would they Dlive their lives aGmong usAm  
And share the Ddarkness with their Glight?C  D  G
