GETTIN' BACK UP TO HEAVEN
As recorded by Mar Estes
(2024 release)
Capo 1st fret
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am C D Am
She grew up on the front pew of the Bethel Baptist Church
C Am
Her mama led the choir and her daddy preached the word
Am
She got her angel wings the day that she was born
G D Am
Nobody ever thought she'd end up growing horns
[Verse 2]
Am C D Am
Well, he blew into town on a dark and dusty wind
C D Am
She fell like the rain for a kiss as sweet as sin
C D Am
He set her world on fire 'til it all fell apart
G D/F# G Am
But that devil met his match the day he broke her heart
[Chorus]
Am C D Am
She's singing, "Lord, forgive me for what I'm 'bout to do
C D Am
It ain't Christian, but this one ain't on you
C D
Well, I've been sleeping with a well-known heathen and I could sure use your
Am
help
G D/F# G Am
Gettin' back up to Heaven when I drop him off in Hell"
[Verse 3]
Am C D Am
Well, it won't be no gun, it won't be no blade
C D Am
But I'm 'bound to be the one to give him what he gave
C D Am
I know it ain't right, but after what he did to me
G D/F# G Am
It's an eye for an eye and I can't turn the other cheek
