C                   Am 
Every sunday in my momma's church 
F                            G 
I'd sneak some money out of momma's purse 
C                              Am 
While she was praying I would slip away 
F                          G 
Down at the pool hall I'd play all day 
C                            Am 
I'd meet her home and she'd just shake her head  
F                             G 
Your fluffing pillows on the devil's bed 
C                   Am 
I'd say mom I know just how you feel 
F                           G 
But I made enough to cover all our bills  
 
F                      G 
To bad for heaven and to good for hell 
C                        Am  
Little wings are better than big tails 
F                         G 
I don't expect to sit at god's right hand  
C                       Am            F 
I could empty heavens garbage cans whoa ohh 
F              G                      C 
Hope their is room on those golden streets 
F                    G             C 
For stray dogs and alley cats like me 
 
Intro: 
 
 
C                           Am 
If they won't let me in the big front gate 
F              G 
Maybe I can go in the backway 
C                         Am 
I know my halo wouldn't shine real bright 
F                                 G 
But it would get me through the clouds at night 
C                            Am 
And I don't care if I'm the last to sing  
F                          G 
Ref I've got the smallest set of wings 
C                               Am 
I'd watch those little devil's down on earth 
F                             G 
And follow them when they'd sneak out of church
