[VERSE 1:]
                             F       G
I'm not afraid that when I'm dying 
                              C     G  C
There'll be no one to hold my hand
                             F          G
If there's a god up there he loves me  
                        C
As much as my old woman can 


[CHORUS:]
                       F        D
I don't intend to be a martyr 
                                G
I don't give a damn what people say
     C                F        G
And if I never get to heaven
                           C
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

[CHORUS:]
                               F      D
I've tasted life both good and evil
                                 G
At times I was cruel and did not pay 
    C                 F        G
And if I never get to heaven
                           C 
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

[VERSE 2:]
                           F          G
I don't know what it was I came for 
                            C     G  C
But I've enjoyed it up 'til now 
                             F         G
If there's a friend who ever needs me 
                            C
I'll do my best to help somehow 


[CHORUS:]
                          F         D
I don't intend to keep no secrets 
                                G
I don't give a damn what people say 
    C                 F        G
And if I never get to heaven
                           C
Heaven don't deserve me anyway 


[CHORUS:]
                         F          D
I know and I'll admit my failures 
                                G
I don't give a damn what people say 
    C                 F        G
And if I never get to heaven
                           C  
Heaven don't deserve me anyway 
                      F        G
And if I never get to heaven
                           C
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
