[F] [C]
[Am] Well now [D] he was [Am] pushing 80, but he acts like 22.
[F] And he could [C] live and drink just [G] like his grandchildren [Am] would do.
They were square headed on the meadow, sack of cotton on the hill.
[F] Well their summer [C] work was over [G] once he got the [Am] class to clear.
They were drinking on the big block, across the river from the field.
Well he walked up [C] to the edge and [G] threw a stone in.
[A] And he kneeled and he looked down at the [Am] water and said,
Boys, I'm going in.
Well they [F] were cheering when [C] he jumped, but he [G] did not [Am] come up again.
Oh, [C] there's another round [G] going on at [Am] the [F] last April [C] Fool's Day.
[G] No, there will [E] never last, [F] and that's where [C] you'll have [G] all your [Am] peace and rest.
[F] Now we all [G] are going to heaven [Am] [C]
[G] before the devil [Am] knows we're dead.

Well it was the twenty after midnight, and they were going in 85.
[F] Streaming sparely [C] out of high school, [G] and about to [Am] feel alive.
They danced with [G] two lame [Am] peeps at the blacktop,
in their [Em] snaky [A] shirts and their [Am] bow.
[F] Well the wind blew [C] through the wing bits, [G] it was clear and [Am] fresh and cold.
Well the driver killed the hand lights, and he put the throttle down.
[F] Well they [C] hit the railroad crossing, [G] they were five feet [A] off the ground.
[Am] Just screaming through the midnight, till they came down again.
[F] Well before [C] they tied the bar, [G] they'd say, well [Am] it's over man.
Oh, [C] there's another round going [G] on at [Am] the last [C] April Fool's Day.
[G] No, there will never [E] last, [F] and that's where you'll [C] have all [Em] your peace [Am] and rest.
[F] Now we all are [C] going to [G] heaven [C]
[G] before the devil [Am] knows we're dead.
Hit em' bro!

[G] [A] [Am] Well I'm twenty-eight years [A] old now, well I was born [Am] in 84.
[F] Now I've been free as [C] I can be, [A] and I won't ask for anymore.
See that's a fiddle player!
After I've done my last breath, [F] well tell everyone [C] I know, [G] Lord, I love you [Am] all to death.
[C] There's another round [G] going on at [Am] the [C] last April Fool's Day.
[Em] No, there will never last, [F] and that's where you'll [G] have all your [A] peace and rest.
[F] Now we [C] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] all are going to [G] heaven
[Am] [F] [G] before the devil knows [A] we're dead.
