Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G C G
Long-haired preachers come out every night
G D
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
G C G
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
G D G
They will answer in voices so sweet
[Chorus 1]
G D
You will eat [You will eat], bye and bye [bye and bye]
G
In that glorious land above the sky [Way up high]
G C
Work and pray [Work and pray], live on hay [live on hay]
G D G
You'll get pie in the sky when you die
[Verse 2]
G C G
And the Starvation Army, they play
G D
And they sing and they clap and they pray
G C G
Till they get all your coin on the drum
G D G
Then they tell you when you're on the bum
[Chorus 1]

You will eat [You will eat], bye and bye [bye and bye]

In that glorious land above the sky [Way up high]

Work and pray [Work and pray], live on hay [live on hay]

You'll get pie in the sky when you die

G C G
Holy Rollers and Jumpers come out

And they holler, they jump and they shout

Give your money to Jesus, they say
G D G
He will cure all diseases today
[Chorus 1]

You will eat [You will eat], bye and bye [bye and bye]

Work and pray [Work and pray], live on hay [live on hay]
G D G
You'll get pie in the sky when you die
[Verse 4]
G C G
If you fight hard for children and wife

Try to get something good in this life

You're a sinner and bad man, they tell

When you die you will sure go to hell.

G C G
Workingmen of all countries, unite
G D
Side by side we for freedom will fight
G C G
When the world and its wealth we have gained
G D G
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
[Chorus 2]
G D
You will eat (You will eat), bye and bye [bye and bye]
G
When you've learned how to cook and how to fry [How to fry]
G C
Chop some wood [Chop some wood], 'twill do you good [do you good]
G D G
Then you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye [That's no lie]
