C
I had a dream the other day
C
(I'm gettin' ready togo)
C
The Devil come an' he took me away
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
F
I'd always heard that place was hot,
C
So I asked him if it was or not
G
Well he wouldn't say "yes" or "no" or what,
                    C
I'm gettin' ready to go.



[Chorus]
C
Sweet Home
C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Sweet Home
                G
Hear me moanin, Lo'
C
Sweet Home
C           F       C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Hold the gates wide open
           G               C
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go!



[Verse 2]
C
Took me down to old Hades
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
C
I fell in brimstone up to my knees
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
F
Well, y'oughta seen them little devils prance,
C
But I showed them a brand new dance
G
When a pitchfork jabbed me right in the pants!
                    C
I'm gettin' ready to go!


[Chorus]
C
Sweet Home
C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Sweet Home
                G
Hear me moanin, Lo'
C
Sweet Home
C           F       C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Hold the gates wide open
           G               C
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go!



[Verse 3]
C
I asked when I'd get out again
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
C
He looked at me with a devilish grin
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go)
F
Now the way he laughed, I thought I'd croak
C
He said, "Now I'll tell you a joke:
G
When you go up, you'll go in smoke!"
                    C
I'm gettin' ready to go!


[Chorus]
C
Sweet Home
C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Sweet Home
                G
Hear me moanin, Lo'
C
Sweet Home
C           F       C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Hold the gates wide open
           G               C
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go!



[Verse 4]
C
Well, Lord, that awful dream I had
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go!)
C
It left me feelin' mighty bad
C
(I'm gettin' ready to go!)
F
Well I got my Bible and a mouthful of cheese,
C
And fell right down on my bended knees.
G
I got more religion than a dog's got fleas.
                    C
I'm gettin' ready to go


[Chorus]
C
Sweet Home
C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Sweet Home
                G
Hear me moanin, Lo'
C
Sweet Home
C           F       C
Love I'll have in Heaven
C
Hold the gates wide open
           G               C
Cause I'm gettin' ready to go!
