_ [Bbm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Eb] Has anybody seen me [Ab] lately? _
I'll [Eb] tell you why. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Ab] Has anybody seen me lately? _ _
I'll [Eb] tell you why. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] I caught something that made me so [Ab] sick that I thought that [Eb] I would [Db] die.
[Eb] _ [Bb] And I almost did too.
_ [Eb] First my [Fm] knees began [Gbm] to [Eb] tremble.
[Ab] _
[Bbm] [Bm] My heart [Ab] began [B] to pound. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] [Ab] First [Db] my [Ab] knees began to tremble.
_ [Bbm] [Bm] My heart [Ab] began to [D] pound.
_ See, it really did.
_ [Eb] I got [Bb] it too.
[Ab] Lost my equilibrium.
_ _ Still [Eb] face down upon the ground.
[G] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] I laid there on a [Ab] cold pavement.
[Eb] Tear ran down my face. _
I thought I was dying.
_ _ [Ab] You boys know I'm not a religious man.
Well, I sent a [Eb] prayer just in case. _
You never know.
_ _ [Bb] Lo and behold, almost [Ab] immediately [Ebm] I had reason to believe my prayer [Eb] had been heard in a very special place.
[Bb] Well, this is what happened.
I heard [Eb] this sound. _ _
_ _ Yes. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Yes.
_ [Ab] Harps and angels.
_ [Abm] _ Harps and angels [Eb] coming near. _
_ _ [C] _ I was too sick to roll [F] over and see them, but I could hear them singing ever [Bb] so beautifully in my ear.
_ [Eb] _
Then the sound began [Bb] to [Eb] subside.
And the sound of my background saying,
Lord, come down.
Not from the heaven above.
_ It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament.
A voice full of love from the New One.
It was streaking it up like it was the middle of the day.
_ [D] [Eb] And I lay there quiet listening to what [Bb] that voice [Eb] had to say.
He said, you ain't been a good man.
[Ab] _ You ain't been a [Eb] bad man. _
_ You've been pretty bad.
_ [Gm] _ [Ab] _ _
Lucky for you, this ain't your time.
[Eb] _
Someone very dear to me has made another clerical error.
[Bb] You were here in a bit of a wild goose [Fm] chase.
Well, I'm going [Ab] to tell you a few things that hold [Eb] you in good stead when it is your time.
[Bb] So you better listen close.
I'm only going to say this [Eb] once.
When you lay on the table, [Ab] _ _ better keep [Eb] your business clean.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] When you lay on the table, _ better keep [Eb] your business clean.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Don't want no backstabbing, [Ab] ass-grabbing.
You know exactly what I mean.
[Eb] _ _
Alright [Bb] girls, we're out of here.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ Encore, encore.
He spoke French.
_ _ [Ab] Très bien. _
Encore.
[Abm] _ _ And off [Eb] it went into the night.
_ _ [C] Almost immediately I felt [F] better.
And I run here to see you boys.
[Bb] Because you know we ain't living right.
And while it [Eb] was fresh, I want to tell you what he told [Bb] me.
_ He said, [Eb] when you lay on the table, [Ab] _ better keep [Eb] your business clean.
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] When you lay on the table, _ better [Eb] keep your business clean.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] [Bb] Yes, there won't be no harps and angels [Ab] coming for you.
No trombones, cellos, drums, [Eb] pitchforks and tambourines.
[Bb] _ _ Sing it [Eb] like they did for everyone. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Yes.
I wish I spoke French.
[Ab] _ _
_ _ [B] _ [Abm] So [Eb] actually the main thing about this story is [C] for me, _ _ [Ab] _ [F] there really [Fm] is an afterlife.
[Bb] And I hope to see all of you there.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ _ Let's go get a drink. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
