Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore John Prine G While digesting Reader's Digest C In the back of a dirty book store, D7 A plastic flag, with gum on the back, G Fell out on the floor. Well, I picked it up and I ran outside C Slapped on my windowshield, D7 And if I could see old Betsy Ross G I tell her how good I feel. Chorus: C But your flag decal won't get you G Into Heaven any more. D7 They're already overcrowded G G7 From your dirty little war. C Now Jesus don't like killin' G No matter what the reason's for, D7 And your flag decal won't get you G Into Heaven any more. Bb C D7 Well, I went to the bank this morning And the cashier he said to me, "If you join the Chrismas club We'll give you ten of them flags for free." Well, I didn't mess around a bit I took her up on what he said. And I stuck them stickers all over my car And one on my wife's forehead. Repeat Chorus: Well, I got my windowshield so filled With flags I couldn't see. So, I ran the car upside a curb And right into a tree. By the time they got a doctor down I was already dead. And I'll never understand why the man Standing in the Pearly Gates said... But your flag decal won't get you Into Heaven any more. We're already overcrowded From your dirty little war. Now Jesus don't like killin' No matter what the reason's for, And your flag decal won't get you Into Heaven any more. C G
