My family is from Eastern Kentucky, _ _ _ _ which _ _ [E] _ means that _ _ my [Db] mom felt like anytime [Ab] he was having a good time, he was going straight up the hill.
[N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ So it was hard to have [Db] fun _ sometimes.
_ _ [E] _ _ _
So I kind of rebelled in the opposite way.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ But this song is kind of about that.
I don't [A] believe God is quite as strict as [D] like Southern Baptist [A] people. _ _ _
At least I'm hoping [G] he's not.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ [E] _ _ I'm kind of banking a lot on that too. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Because if he is, [E] that means me and David ain't getting into heaven.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Don't be too [G] sure.
Oh great, [Gm] it was me and you until we died.
And you know, I'm on my own.
[G] Great.

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
[E] Debbie and Jampie [F] in South heaven.
Me and David [Eb] in South heaven.

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] It's called Slay Dogs Now.

_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ Every Sunday [Em] in my [D] mama's church
_ [C] _ I'd sneak [Bm] some money [A] out of [G] mama's purse
[D] _ While she was praying I would slip away
_ [C] _ Down at the pool hall [D] and play on the deck
_ [G] I'd [D] meet her home [E] and she would shake her head
_ [C] Your [Bm] fluffin' pillows _ [Am] on the [Bm] devil's bed
_ [D] _ I'd tell her mother I know how you [Bm] feel
_ [C] But I made enough to [D] cover all our [C] bills
_ Get back from [D] heaven and to the good for hell
_ _ New wings [E] are better than big cells
[C] _ _ _
I'd expect to [D] sit in God's right hand
_ But I could empty [E] heaven's garbage can
_ _ [C] _ I _ hope [D] there's [Eb] room on those [Em] golden _ _ [A] streets _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _
Slay dogs [D] and _ _ cats [C] like me

_ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] They don't let [Em] me in the big [D]
front gates
[C] _ _ [Bm] Maybe I could [Am] go in the back [G] way
[D] _ My head'll probably wouldn't shine [A] real bright
[C] _ But it'll get me [D] through the cloud at night
_ _ I don't care [Em] if I'm the last [D] to see
_ [C] _ Or if [G] I've got [A] the smallest [G] set of [D] wings
I'll watch the little _ devils down on earth
[C] _ I'll follow them when [D] they speak out of curse
_ [C] _ Get back from heaven [D] and to the good for hell
_ New wings are better [Em] than [D] big cells
[C] _ I'd expect [D] to sit in God's right _ hand
But I could empty [Em] heaven's garbage [D] _ can
[C] _ I _ hope _ there's [Eb] room on those [Em] golden _ streets
