C Well while digesting Reader's DigestC7 F In the back of a dirty book store, A flag decal, with gum on the back,C Fell out on the floor. So I picked it up and I ran outsideC7 F And I slapped on my windowshield, And if I could see old Betsy Ross nowG C I tell her how good I feel. [Chorus]F Oh but your flag decal won't get youC Into Heaven any more.G They're already overcrowdedF C From your dirty little wars.F Now Jesus he don't like killin'C No matter what the reason if for,G And your flag decal won't get youG7 C Into Heaven any more. [Verse 1]C (Well) I went into the bank this morningC7 F and the teller she said to me, "If you join our Chrismas clubC we'll give you ten of those flags for free." So I didn't mess around a bitC7 F and I took her up on what she said. And I stuck those stickers all over my carG C And one on my wife's forehead. [Chorus]F Oh but your flag decal won't get youC Into Heaven any more.G They're already overcrowdedF C From your dirty little wars.F Now Jesus he don't like killin'C No matter what the reason if for,G And your flag decal won't get youG7 C Into Heaven any more. [Verse 2]C (Well) I got my car so stickered upC7 F That I couldn't see. Then I ran it right upside a curb c And then right into a tree.C By the time they called a doctor down c7 f I was already dead. And I'll never understand why the manG C Standing at the Pearly Gates said... [Final Chorus]F Oh but your flag decal won't get youC Into Heaven any more.G We're already overcrowdedF C From your dirty little wars.F Now Jesus he don't like killin'C No matter what the reason is for,G And your flag decal won't get youG7 C Into Heaven any more.
Your Flag Decal Wont Get You Into Heaven Anymore
