G
The bottom line's been snorted
C G
The bottom card's been dealt
D
No one knows like you know right now
C G
How truly bad it felt
G
All your life you wasted, oh
C G
Dreamin' about the day
D
When worker bees kill off their queen
C G
And carry all her eggs away
CHORUS
C
Oh, and if you die fearing God
G C
And painfully employed
G D
No, you will not go to heaven
C G
You'll go to Champaign, Illinois
G
Up north is Chicago
C G
Where booze makes no one blush
D
Memory comes back to you
C G
In a double bourbon rush
G
The memories aren't all bad
C G
And neither, my friend, are you
D
There is an argument that there must be some heaven meant
C G
For hearts that are half true
CHORUS
C
And if you spend your whole life
G C
Rollin' horses into Troy
G D
No, you will not go to heaven
C G
You'll go to Champaign, Illinois
G D
No, you will not go to heaven
C G
You'll go to Champaign, Illinois
G
Roll on blacktop highway
C G
Circles toward the sun
D
Springfield's in the distance
C G
And that's the last big one
G
After that comes judgment
C G
And judgment will be swift
D
You will be eliminated
C G
But here's a parting gift
CHORUS
C
Oh, and if you die fearing God
G C
And painfully employed
G D
No, you will not go to heaven
C G
You'll go to Champaign, Illinois
