Song: Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore Tab
Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore
By John Prine
G C
While digesting Reader's Digest in the back of the dirty book store
D G
A plastic flag with gum on the back fell out on the floor
C
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside, slapped on my windowshield
D G
And if I could see old Betsy Ross, I�d tell her how good I feel
Chorus:
C G
But your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore
D G
They're already overcrowded from your dirty little wars
C G
Now Jesus don't like killin', no matter what the reason for
D G
And your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore
Well, I went to the bank this morning and the cashier he said to me,
If you join the Christmas club we'll give you ten of them flags for free
Well, I didn't mess around a bit, I took her up on what she said
And I stuck them stickers all over my car and one on my wife's forehead
Chorus
Well, I got my windowshield so filled with flags I couldn't see
So, I ran the car upside a curb and right into a tree
By the time they got a doctor down, I was already dead
And I'll never understand why the man standing in the Pearly Gates said
Chorus
