Last Slice Of Heaven
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
D
On a perfect bluebird morning, working till the afternoon
D
He'll take a thermos full of coffee, and a mandolin playing out of tune
G D
He wasn't Bill Monroe, he never sung a note that wasn't flat
D
On rented land he's grown a bit more food than he could eat
D
So he'll sell the rest on Sunday, can whatever he can keep
G D
Tomatoes, corn and beans, potatoes and winter greens on an acre and a half
Em Bm A
But now the land that he's been working is worth more than he could need
Em D G A
If selling out's surrender, is leaving like defeat?
[Chorus]
D A
Cause in a world that's always changing, what it means to be the same
G Em D G A
He knows spit and polish cleans up, the stuff they'd rather throw away
D A
To make an honest living, where the honest few are found
G D A
Takes more than prayers and loans, to keep your boots on solid ground
Em D G D
On the Last Slice of Heaven in this town
[Mandolin Solo]
D G D G
[Verse 2]
D
Tobacco barn's full up with a crop of auto parts
D
There's a broken antique thresher, now the Oldsmobile won't start
G D
The county's creepin' in, says they oughta go condemn that old place
D
The new neighbors never wave to him as he walks along the road
D
He goes over to the Legion, drinks a beer and goes back home
G D
All alone he sits in silence, his life like a reminder of what's changed
Em Bm A
Cause every fields a row of houses waiting to be built,
Em D G A
Ain't no such thing as empty space 'til you need something to fill
[Chorus]
D A
Cause in a world that's always changing, what it means to be the same
G Em D G A
He knows spit and polish cleans up, the stuff they'd rather throw away
D A
To make an honest living, where the honest few are found
G D A
Takes more than prayers and loans, to keep your boots on solid ground
Em D G
On the Last Slice of Heaven
A D
On the Last Slice of Heaven in this town
[Outro]
