(Verse 1)
C Fmaj7
All my heroes have gone to heaven
G C
Where all them saints wear flaming shoes
C Fmaj7
The junkies and the whores are behind them pearly doors
G Fmaj7
I guess i'm going to go to heaven too
(Verse 2)
C Fmaj7
Now all my heroes have gone to heaven
G C
Where all them richeous joes take to shoveling coal
C
The killers and the cons
Fmaj7
The pushers and the pawns
G C C7
With halos, wings just hovering over paths of gold
(Chorus)
Fmaj7 C
so mama don't you cry
Fmaj7 C
when i'm dead and gone
Fmaj7 C
cause jesus loves his sinners
G C
and heaven is a honky tonk

(Verse 3)
C Fmaj7
Now all my heros have gone to heaven
G C
The liars and the gamblers and the fools
C
The drunkards and the thieves
Fmaj7
All wearing silk upon their sleeves
G C C7
And every gal is like a silver pearl in bloom
(Chorus)
Fmaj7 C
So mama don't you cry
Fmaj7 C
When i'm dead and gone
Fmaj7 C
Cause jesus loves his sinners
G C
And heaven is a honky tonk
Fmaj7 C
So mama don't you cry
Fmaj7 C
When i'm dead and gone
Fmaj7 G
Cause jesus loves his sinners
Fmaj7 C
And heaven is a honky tonk
Fmaj7 C
And heaven is a honky tonk
