[Intro]
G C G D A G
[Verse 1]
GIf upon that day I die
CI'm too drunk to walk let alone to drive
GAnd I'm kickin' and I'm spittin' like I'm wild and feral
DWon't you take me to heaven in a wheelbarrow
[Chorus]
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
GI'm going to heaven, yes Dsir
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
So Gwon't you Dtake me Gthere
[Verse 2]
GWell, you can go on your golden steed
COr up on an angel's wings at speed
GOr even in the pyramid like a Pharaoh
DBut I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
GI met some gal on the wrong side of town
CWho gets me up when I'm going down
GShe keeps me in line, shootin' straight and narrow
DNow she's taking me to heaven in a wheelbarrow
[Chorus]
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
GI'm going to heaven, yes Dsir
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
So Gwon't you Dtake me Gthere
[Verse 3]
GWell, I met a woman with a cold heart
DShe tried to take me to hell in a shopping cart
GSaid woman, you're putting my soul in peril
DI'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
[Chorus]
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
GI'm going to heaven, yes Dsir
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
So Gwon't you Dtake me Gthere

[Verse 4]
GA lot of men don't stand so tall
CMost of us, you know we gotta fall
GSome are lookin' life down a shotgun barrel
DBut I'm going to heaven in a wheelbarrow
[Chorus]
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
GI'm going to heaven, yes Dsir
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
So Gwon't you Dtake me Gthere
GI'm going to heaven in a Cwheelbarrow
