John Prine - Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven chords
Start Jamming...
While digesting Reader's Digest
[C] In the back of the dirty bookstore
[D] A plastic flag with gum on the back
Fell [G] out on the floor
Well I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my [C] window shield
[D] And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good [G] I feel
[C] But your flag decal won't get you
[G] Into heaven anymore
[D] They're already overcrowded
[G] From your dirty little war
[C] Now Jesus don't like killin'
[G] No matter what the reason's for
And [D] your flag decal won't get you
Into heaven [G] anymore
[Bb] Well [C] [D]
[G] I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier said to me
If [D] you join the Christmas Club
We'll give you [E] ten of them [G] flags for free
Well I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what [C] he said
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my [G] wife's forehead
[C] But your flag decal won't get [G] you
Into heaven anymore
[D] They're already overcrowded
From [G] your dirty little war
[C] Now Jesus don't like killin'
[G] No matter what the reason's for
[D] And your flag decal won't get you
Into heaven anymore
[Bb] [D]
[G] Well I got my window shields
Filled with flags I couldn't [C] see
[D] So I ran the car upside a curve
Right [G] into a tree
By the time they got a doctor down
I was [C] already dead
[D] And I'll never understand
Why the man standing in the [G] pearly gate said
[C] But your flag decal won't get [G] you
Into heaven anymore
[D] We're already overcrowded
[G] From your dirty little war
[C] Now Jesus don't like killin'
[G] No matter what the reason's for
[D] And your flag decal won't get you
Into heaven anymore
[G] [N]
