Tom: C
C
Well while digesting Reader's Digest
C7 F
In the back of a dirty book store,
A flag decal, with gum on the back,
C
Fell out on the floor.
So I picked it up and I ran outside
C7 F
And I slapped on my windowshield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross now
G C
I tell her how good I feel.
[Chorus]
F
Oh but your flag decal won't get you
C
Into Heaven any more.
G
They're already overcrowded
F C
From your dirty little wars.
F
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
C
No matter what the reason if for,
G
And your flag decal won't get you
G7 C
Into Heaven any more.
[Verse 1]
C
(Well) I went into the bank this morning
C7 F
and the teller she said to me,
"If you join our Chrismas club
C
we'll give you ten of those flags for free."
So I didn't mess around a bit
C7 F
and I took her up on what she said.
And I stuck those stickers all over my car
G C
And one on my wife's forehead.
[Chorus]
F
Oh but your flag decal won't get you
C
Into Heaven any more.
G
They're already overcrowded
F C
From your dirty little wars.
F
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
C
No matter what the reason if for,
G
And your flag decal won't get you
G7 C
Into Heaven any more.
[Verse 2]
C
(Well) I got my car so stickered up
C7 F
That I couldn't see.
Then I ran it right upside a curb
c
And then right into a tree.
C
By the time they called a doctor down
c7 f
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
G C
Standing at the Pearly Gates said...
[Final Chorus]
F
Oh but your flag decal won't get you
C
Into Heaven any more.
G
We're already overcrowded
F C
From your dirty little wars.
F
Now Jesus he don't like killin'
C
No matter what the reason is for,
G
And your flag decal won't get you
G7 C
Into Heaven any more.
