Leaving Heaven

[Verse 1]
        A           F#m
Leaving heaven far behind
         E
For fine women and fine wine
      A               F#m
And a chance you will find
      E
A new way
        A                   F#m
No more silver trimmed with gold
        E
No more glory to behold
         A          E       A
You will find no comforts today



[Chorus 1]
       D           A
Let em roll let em go
        E          F#m
Take me down, down below
    A           D
You wont get to heaven
     A             E
With blood on your trail
       A         E      A
I have tried and I have failed



[Verse 2]
         A            F#m
With the devil on the rise
        E
And the fire from his lungs
         A              F#m
Damn his heart damn his eyes
    E
And damn his lying tongue
         A             F#m
Let this fever break tonight

          E
Let these miles mask the pain
            A        F#m
There'll be no home awaiting
E
When you return again
            A        F#m
There'll be no home awaiting
E                A
When you return again



[Chorus 2]
       D           A
Let em roll let em go
        E          F#m
Take me down, down below
    A           D
You wont get to heaven
     A             E
With blood on your trail
       A         E      A
I have tried and I have failed
