Jersey On The Wall

C Am F G

          C
There’s a jersey on the wall
                 Am
In a high school gym in my home town
       F
In the corner by the scoreboard
          G
Where the bleacher seats fold down
       C
twenty seven took the Tigers
       Am
to the finals that year
    F                           G
but that’s not why it’s hanging there

     C
If I ever get to heaven
                 Am
You know I got a long list of questions
     F
like how do you make a snowflake?
        G
are you angry when the Earth quakes?
             C
how does the sky change in a minute?
           Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning?
    Am               G        F
Why can‘t you stop a car from  crashing?
F                   G   C      Am F   G
forgive me I’m just asking

      C
I bet somewhere there‘s a yearbook
     Am
in a box under a bed
       F
with a senior picture missing
          G
in loving memory instead
    C
and somewhere there’s a mother
    Am
who stopped going to church
           F
cause your plan quit making sense
             G
Down here on   Earth

     C
If I ever get to heaven
                 Am
You know I got a long list of questions
     F
like how do you make a snowflake?
        G
are you angry when the Earth quakes?
             C
how does the sky change in a minute?
           Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning?
    Am                     G        F
Why couldn’t you stop that car from   crashing
    F                G    Am
forgive me I’m just asking

   G         F
oh I’m just saying
          Am              G
You don’t have to answer now
       F
oh but someday

     C
If I ever get to heaven
        Am
I got a long list of questions
         F
like how do you make a snowflake?
        G
are you angry when the Earth quakes?
             C
how does the sky change in a minute?
           Am
how do you keep this big rock spinning?
          Am
if you’ve got your hands
   G               F
on everything that happens
         Am                     G        F
Then why couldn’t you stop that car from crashing?
F                   G    C
forgive me I’m just asking

    Am  F     G      C
oh I’m just asking
