Songs For My Own Enjoyment: Heaven is Closed

D                                         

Heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

                                  A    

So I think I'll just stay where I am,  

A7                                       

So many people, well it sure is lonely,  

                 D      

Who even gives a damn?  

I hear someone calling, "Come in from the craziness",  

D7                       G       

But there ain't nobody a-round,  

                     D                    

Heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

     A7                           D    

So I think I'll just stay where I am.  

D                                        A7      

Heaven left for California on a midnight plane,  

Hell stayed behind so I wouldn't be lonely,  

                   A          D       

For reasons that's hard to ex-plain,  

Could it be hell is heaven and that heaven is hell,  

    D7                         G       

And each one are both the same thing?  

                              D                   

Well I hope heaven finds what she's looking for,  

         A                            D      

And that hell treats us both just the same.  

D                                         

Heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

                                  A7   

So I think I'll just stay where I am,  

So many people, well it sure is lonely,  

                 D      

Who even gives a damn?  

I hear someone calling, "Come in from the craziness",  

D7                       G       

But there ain't nobody a-round,  

                     D                    

Heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

     A                            D    

So I think I'll just stay where I am.  

      G                         D                

Let's burn one for those that's living in hell,  

      G                      D                         

Let's burn one for those who think they're in heaven,  

G                  D                        

Burn one for every-one in the whole world,  

    E7                 A7     A 

And anyone stuck in be-tween.   

D                                         

Heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

                                  A7   

So I think I'll just stay where I am,  

So many people, well it sure is lonely,  

                 D      

Who even gives a damn?  

I hear someone calling, "Come in from the craziness",  

D7                       G       

But there ain't nobody a-round,  

                     D                    

Heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

     A                            D    

So I think I'll just stay where I am.  

     G                    D                    

Yeah heaven is closed and hell's overcrowded,  

     A                            D    

So I think I'll just stay where I am.
