Tyler Childers - Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven?

[Intro]
G7

[Verse 1]
G7 C
Now you tell me that there are streets of gold and angels in the air
D G7
Now all that’s fine and dandy and I’m sure it’s nice up there
C
There’s just one thing that I need to know ‘fore I settle down
D
Can I take my hounds to heaven
G7
Can I hunt on God’s ground

[Verse 2]
G7 C
Now you say if I quit drinking and try to toe the line
D G7
I can make it up to glory at the end of my life
C
And while whiskey’s hard to throw away something I try to do
D7 G7
If I could spend forever running round treeing coon’s

[Chorus]
C7
But if I can’t take my hounds to heaven
G7
If I can’t hunt on God’s land
D7
Then I’d rather load my dog box up and go to hell with all my friends
G7 C7
Now I’ll wake up in the morning and follow you to town
D7
If I can take my hounds to heaven
G7
If I can hunt on God’s ground

[Guitar Solo]
G7 C7 D7 G7

[Keyboard Solo]
G7 C7 D7 G7

[Verse 3]
G7 C7
Now you say if I quit smoking and my rough and rowdy ways
D7 G7
We can hold the hands forever on streets of gold someday
C7
But the only way I can stand it now and I hate to say it’s true
D7
When you gimme a hard time
G7
I can do what I wanna do

[Chorus]
C7
If I can’t take my hounds to heaven
G7
If I can’t hunt on God’s land
D7
Then I’d rather load my dog box up and go to hell with all my friends
G7 C7
Now I’ll wake up in the morning and follow you to town
D7
If I can take my hounds to heaven
G7
If I can hunt on God’s ground
D7
If I can take my hounds to heaven
G7
If I can hunt on God’s ground

[Outro]
G7
