I'm not afraid that when I'm (G) dying
(A) There'll be no one to hold my (D) hand (A)
(D) If there's a God up there he (G) loves me
(A) As much as my old woman (D) can
I don't intend to be a (G) martyr
(E) I don't give a damn what people (A) say
And (D) if I never get to (G) heaven
(A) Heaven don't deserve me any(D)way (G)  (A)  (D)  (A)  (D)  (G)  (A)  (D)

I've tasted life both good and (G) evil
(E) At times I was cruel and did not (A) pay
And (D) if I never get to (G) heaven
(A) Heaven don't deserve me any(D)way (G)  (A)  (D)

I don't know what it was I came for
But I've enjoyed it up til now
If there's a friend who ever needs me
I'll do my best to help somehow
I don't intend to keep no secrets
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

I know and I'll admit my failures
I don't give a damn what people say
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
And if I never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
