Tom: D
D G
Doing what you love has a high price to pay
A D
Some put on a suit but he ran the other way
D G
His drums drown out the yuppies and the one's who couldn't dream
A D
Cause the freedom music gave him was worth more than anything
[Chorus]
G D
They don't know what they got
A D D7 D
Until it's gone, like it or not
G D
You live on love, you try to do what's right
A D
We're all here a-waiting for our silver invitation to the big band in the sky
G D x2
[Verse 2]
D G
Rollin down the windows, trying hard to fight the sleep
A D
Money's never much for a band in Tennessee
D G
Another night of playin to a crowd with no ears
A D
Wanna hear the songs they know and fill their bellies full of beer
[Chorus]
G D
They don't know what they got
A D D7 D
Until it's gone, like it or not
G D
You live on love, you try to do what's right
A D
We're all here a-waiting for our silver invitation to the big band in the sky
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
[Bridge]
G D
And when he closed his eyes, fell into a dream that never dies
G D
And when the thunder comes, you can hear his kick drum in the sky
A G
Feel the rain fall from our eyes
[Chorus]
G D
Cause we don't know what we got
A D D7 D
Until it's gone, like it or not
G D
You live on love, you try to do what's right
A
For him there's no more waiting, got his silver invitation to do a little playing for
D
the big band in the sky
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
