Heaven Bound & Glory Be
Capo 3
the picking of the first C is in strings: A-B-G then A-D-G
intro: C  
CA reporter in a jailroom, whispering her source to a Fdying bulb
GWhile the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle, 
Amconvinced of the GimpossiblFe:
All those Dmwicked words I Gused to build my wCild Western 
Ftruth
I was Dmjust following the Grules. Yeah, I Cdid what I had to 
Fdo.
So now its Dmlater than it Cneeds to bGe
And in the Emdulcet tones of dAmreaGm
The Fprince atop his chariot,
GHeaven bound & glory be.
CA mother in a market chases after children that she Fbarely knows
GWhile the father on the barstool, dropped off by his 
carpool, is Amplaying a Gfamiliar Frole:
I used to Dmbe a conquering Gking. I watched the Cslow stars 
shoot & Fswing.
When I'd Dmwake, the world would Gsing. Now, I Ccan't hear 
anythinFg.
So now its Dmlater than it needs to Gbe
And while his Emstranger family AmsleGeps
FThe king looks for his castle,
GHeaven bound & glory be.
FThere's a myth we must've Cmade
One we're sEmpreading every Fday
In every Dmdying dream we gGrieve
The humming Emhole we fight & AmfeedG  
FIt's the loving lives we long for
GHeaven bound & glory Cbe
CA man in a hotel room, tangled to his teeth by the 
Ftelephone
GHe's waiting on a woman, wondering what she's doing, and 
Ampacing so his Gpulse won't Fslow.
He drums his lDmegs and pulls his Ghair; he carves her Cdimples 
in the Fair.
The raging Dmworld has spooked him Gscared, and he Cdon't want 
her lost out Fthere.
So now it's Dmlater than it nCeeds to Gbe
And though his aEmching eyes want AmsleGep
Against all DmrationalitCyG  
Against Emeverything he belAmievesG  
FHe prays for her protection,
GHeaven bound & glory Ambe.Dsus2/F#  
FHe prays for her protection,
GHeaven bound & gloooooooooory CbeeeC/BeeeeeAm. OhGhh
And I Fpray for your protection, Gheaven bound and glory Cbe

Heaven Bound & Glory Be

Capo 3

the picking of the first C is in strings: A-B-G then A-D-G

intro:

C F

A reporter in a jailroom, whispering her source to a dying bulb

While the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle,

Am G F

convinced of the impossible:

Dm G C

All those wicked words I used to build my wild Western

truth

Dm G C

I was just following the rules. Yeah, I did what I had to

do.

Dm C G

So now its later than it needs to be

Em Am G

And in the dulcet tones of dream

The prince atop his chariot,

Heaven bound & glory be.

C F

A mother in a market chases after children that she barely knows

While the father on the barstool, dropped off by his

Am G F

carpool, is playing a familiar role:

Dm G C

I used to be a conquering king. I watched the slow stars

shoot & swing.

Dm G C

When I'd wake, the world would sing. Now, I can't hear

anything.

Dm G

So now its later than it needs to be

Em Am G

And while his stranger family sleeps

The king looks for his castle,

Heaven bound & glory be.

F C

There's a myth we must've made

Em F

One we're spreading every day

Dm G

In every dying dream we grieve

Em Am G

The humming hole we fight & feed

It's the loving lives we long for

G C

Heaven bound & glory be

A man in a hotel room, tangled to his teeth by the

telephone

He's waiting on a woman, wondering what she's doing, and

Am G F

pacing so his pulse won't slow.

Dm G C

He drums his legs and pulls his hair; he carves her dimples

in the air.

Dm G C

The raging world has spooked him scared, and he don't want

her lost out there.

Dm C G

So now it's later than it needs to be

Em Am G

And though his aching eyes want sleep

Dm C G

Against all rationality

Em Am G

Against everything he believes

He prays for her protection,

G Am Dsus2/F#

Heaven bound & glory be.

He prays for her protection,

G C C/B Am G

Heaven bound & gloooooooooory beeeeeeee. Ohhh

F G C

And I pray for your protection, heaven bound and glory be
