D G
Doing what you love has a high price to pay
A D
Some put on a suit but he ran the other way
D G
His drums drown out the yuppies and the one's who couldn't dream
A D
Cause the freedom music gave him was worth more than anything
G D
They don't know what they got
A D D7 D
Until it's gone, like it or not
G D
You live on love, you try to do what's right
A D
We're all here a-waiting for our silver invitation to the big band in the sky
Rollin down the windows, trying hard to fight the sleep
Money's never much for a band in Tennessee
Another night of playin to a crowd with no ears
Wanna hear the songs they know and fill their bellies full of beer
Chorus
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
Bridge:
G D
And when he closed his eyes, fell into a dream that never dies
G D
And when the thunder comes, you can hear his kick drum in the sky
A G
Feel the rain fall from our eyes
Chorus 1:
Cause we don't know what we got
Until it's gone, like it or not
You live on love, you try to do what's right
For him there's no more waiting, got his silver invitation to do a little playing for
the big band in the sky
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
G D
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
