Verse:
My g[B]grandpa taught me
′Bout B[E]Buck knives and shotguns
How to c[B]cast an old Zebco
How to w[Gb]work a stick shift
He t[B]taught me the Bible
'Bout a[E]all 12 disciples
He m[B]made sure that I know
There′s l[Gb]life after this
With p[Dbm]pearly gates
And s[B]streets of gold
And if I j[E]just believe
That's w[Gb]where I'll go
Chorus:
Lord, when I d[B]die
I wanna l[E]live on the outskirts of H[B]Heaven
Where there′s dirt roads for m[B]miles
And hay in the f[E]fields, and fish in the r[Gb]river
Where there′s d[Abm]dogwood trees, and honeybees
And b[Gb]blue skies, and green grass for[E]forever
So, Lord, when I d[B]die
I wanna l[E]live on the outskirts of H[B]Heaven [E]

Now it s[B]says in the King James
In the A[E]Almighty's kingdom
He m[B]mentions a mansion
That he′s b[Gb]built just for me
I g[B]gladly trade it
For a f[E]farmhouse with acreage
And a b[B]backyard that's shaded
And a s[Gb]squeaky front-porch swing
That′s where I w[Gb]wanna hang my wings
Chorus:
When I d[B]die
I wanna l[E]live on the outskirts of H[B]Heaven

Where there′s d[Abm]dogwood trees, and honeybees
And b[Gb]blue skies, and green grass for[E]forever

Lord, when I d[B]die
I wanna l[E]live on the outskirts of Heaven [B]
