[Verse]
C                G
Said a friend to a friend one day,
A                  F
Was a man who passed away
C                G                  A
St. Peter met him at the gate
                    C             G
Pete said:  "Walk with me if you will
        A          F
I'll take you to the house you built"
C              G           F
Man said:  "I can't wait!"
C               G
Passed a mansion made of stone
A                F
But with each new house he's shown
C            G              A
They get smaller by degrees
C              G
Stopped in front of a two room shack
A                 F
Pete said hope you're happy with that
C                 G           C
Man said:  "How can this be?"

Pete said:


[Chorus]
F                   G         Am             Em
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
F              G                  C
that's all the lumber you sent
F                 G             Am                  Em
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number
F              G                 C
That's all the lumber you sent


[Verse]
C                G
Man didn't know what to say
Am                Em
poor guy was blown away
C                        G                   Am
Said:  "you mean this is what I deserve?"
                  C              G
Pete said:  "I'm afraid it's so
Am                 F
It's too late but now you know
C             G             F
Shoulda done better work"
  C              G
You mean not lie and cheat
        Am                  F
and helpin' old ladies across the street?
 C       G                        Am
Pete says:  Well, that's a start
                         C                G
Remember that man back in that great big house?
Am                       F
He found out early what it's all about
C                  G               C
Built that place with his heart--as for you

F                   G         Am             Em
That's all the lumber--that's all the lumber
F              G                  C
that's all the lumber you sent
F                 G             Am                  Em
Looks like the builder--man he's got your number
F              G                 C
That's all the lumber you sent


[Bridge]
Bb                              Am
What if that man was me
Bb                             Am
And I failed that miserably
           F                          C
You're showin' me things I don't wanna see


[Verse]
C            G
St. Peter if you can
Am                    F
Send me back to earth again
C            G                    Am
Is that somethin' you can do?
                  C         G
Pete said:  It ain't up to me
Am                    F
If it was I'd like to see
C             G           F
How you plan to improve
          C                  G
Said:  I'd love God and fellow man
Am                    F
Take a wife and make a stand
C                 G            Am
Be the givinest guy I can be
               C          G
And when I get back to this neighborhood
           Am
There'd be a big gigantic pile of wood
C                   G               C
And I'd say:  What's this I see?--You'd tell me

F                   G         Am             Em
That's all the lumber      all thats your the lumber
F              G                  C
that's all the lumber you sent
F                 G             Am                  Em
Big Boss will help you        hammer it all together
F              G                 C
That's all the lumber you sent
