Ronnie Goes To Heaven

Oh, [E]Lord, I see a [C]light
I hear [G]broad gates throwing back their bolts
Feel [D]arms of welcome open wide
Oh, [E]Lord, the light is so [C]bright
And I [G]don't know what it means
I [D]don't know what it means
It means [E]rows of shiny [C]fighter jets
And [G]shelves for Nancy's [D]china sets
[E]BODs and [C]candy jars and [D]war (bloody war)
And so much more

Oh, [E]Lord, you are too [C]good to me
Your [G]hands are warm and your grip is firm
Your [D]light is so bright that I can't see
Oh, [E]Lord, is this the [C]promised land?
I [G]pray that you will lead the way
And [D]hold on tightly to my hand

Be[E]lieve me, son, I'll [C]hold you tight
And [G]guide you through the [D]blinding light
To the [E]death of all the [C]union shops
And a [G]noose for Mikhail [D]Gorbachev
Our [E]streets are [C]free from [G]pesky [D]beggars
You'll [E]dine with [C]Marcos and [G]Norie[D]ga
Your [E]slickest [C]schemes and your [G]darkest [D]dreams are [E]coming [C]true
You're gonna [G]get what [D]you deserve

Oh, [E]Lord, the light's [C]so bright
I [G]don't mean to criticize
But it's [D]really starting to hurt my eyes
Oh, [E]Lord, your grip is just a [C]little too tight
If you could [G]loosen it just a touch
You don't [D]have to be so rough

[E]"Rough," you [C]say? You've [G]made my [D]day
[E]Wait'll you [C]see what's [G]on the [D]way
[E]Welfare [C]cuts and [G]Contra [D]funding
Gonna [E]learn you, [C]boy, about [G]pain and [D]suffering

[G]Oh no, what's [D]happe[C]ning?
[G]No, no, it's [D]all a bad [C]dream
[G]My God, what [D]have I [C]done?
[E]Something has gone [D]wrong
[G]Yes, yes, it's [D]all as [C]planned
[G]Ron my boy you are [D]now a [C]man
You'll [G]learn and burn a[D]new each [C]day
To the [E]deepest rungs [D]away
And [E]Heaven's grace may trickle down someday

Oh, Lord, how could I have [C]been so wrong?
My [G]father weren't you [D]with me all along?
Oh, [E]Lord, I want to go [C]back
Purge [G]memory kill history
Dream [D]unilateral attack

Hush, my [E]son, you have done [C]me so proud
[G]Smiling simpering sold my bag
A[D]cross your nation raised my flag
My [E]son, now off to [C]bed with you
I'll [G]wake you when the others have arrived

It won't be long now
They will [E]follow you[C]   [G]      [D]

They will follow you
He[E]llo, John Paul, it's [C]been too long
It's [G]really great that you've [D]come along

They will follow you
M[E]r. Falwell, what [C]a surprise
[G]Settle in and [D]dry your eyes

They will follow you
[E]Maggie, Henry, [C]Mommy dear
[G]Welcome home, there's [D]room for many [E]more
