       D                   A7         D
I told my mom goodbye when I was eigh teen
                            A7        D
She told me bye for good at age sixty three
                 G             D
She was an angel right here on earth
                                   A7         D
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her

                       A7      D
I went and married the woman I loved
                        A7         D
Three years of me later she had en ough
                      G            D
Just one more angel I didn't deser ve
                                   A7         D
There was sure a fine line between heaven and her

           C          G        D
Feels like everything I love I lose
        F          G           D
And God giveth and He takes aw ay
C            G              D
Prayin's the right thing to do
      F               G           A
But I don't fell like prayin' tod ay
     D
So I think I'll just sit here
    A7          D
And drink for a spell
                                        A7         D
'Cause there's sure a fine line between heaven and hell

        D                     A7            D
Now I'm headed nowhere ninety nine miles an hour
                          A7            D
In a '62 Dodge with three hundred horse power
                        G             D
If she holds together I might get the nerve
To (N.C.) cross that fine line between heaven and her

           C          G        D
Feels like everything I love I lose
        F          G           D
And God giveth and He takes aw ay
C            G              D
Prayin's the right thing to do
      F               G           A
But I don't fell like prayin' tod ay
   D
So maybe I'll just slow down
    A7          D
And drink for a spell
                                                          D
'Cause there's sure a fine line between (N.C.) heaven and hell
