Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven? (Hallelujah Version) Chords

_ [G] _ I'm _ going _ to sing _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ a song.
You tell me there are streets of gold and angels [C] in the air.
[D] While all that's fine and dandy, and I'm sure [G] it's nice up there.
There's just one thing that I need to know before I [C] settle down.
Can [D] I take my hounds to heaven?
Can I hunt [G] on God's ground?
Now you say if I quit drinking and [A] try to toe the [C] line,
[D] I can make it up to glory at the [G] end of my life.
And while whiskey's hard to throw away, something [C] I'd try to do
[D] so I could spend forever running hounds and treating [G] coons.
[C] But if I can't take my hounds to heaven, if [G] I can't hunt on God's land,
I'd rather load my dark box up and go to hell [D] with all my friends.
I will [G] wake up in the morning and I will follow [C] you to town
if I [D] can't take my hounds to heaven, if I can't hunt [G] on God's ground. _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ Now you say if I quit smoking and my rough and [C] rowdy ways,
[D] we can hold hands forever on streets [G] of gold someday.
But the only way I can stand it now, and I hate to [C] say it's true,
[D] when you give me a hard time, I can do what I want [G] to do.
But if I can't [C] take my hounds to heaven, [G] if I can't hunt on God's land,
I'd rather load my dark box up and go to hell with all [D] my friends.
_ I will [G] wake up in the morning and I will follow [C] you to town
if [D] I can't take my hounds to heaven, if I can't hunt on [G] God's ground.
If I [D] can't take my hounds to heaven, if I can't hunt on [G] God's ground.
