 A

It’s number one all over Heaven, it’s number one all over Heaven,

A7

it’s number one all over Heaven, the number one song all over Heaven.

 

    D                        A                        G

1.     If you should die before you awake,

D                        A                                    G

    if you should die while crossing the street,

D                                   A                   G

    the song that you’ll hear, I guarantee :

 

 A

It’s number one all over Heaven, it’s number one all over Heaven,

A7

it’s number one all over Heaven, the number one song all over heaven.

 

    D                               A                               G

2.    The one that’s the rage up here in the clouds,

D                    A                           G

    loud as a crowd or soft as a doubt,

D                  A                                     G

    lyrically weak, but the music’s the thing.

 

   A

Gabriel plays it, God, how he plays it,

 

Gabriel plays it, God, how he plays it !

  A7

Gabriel plays it, God, how he plays it,

 

Gabriel plays it, let’s hear him play it !

 

+  D ~ (percussion)

 

 A

It’s number one all over Heaven, it’s number one all over Heaven,

A7

it’s number one all over Heaven, the number one song all over Heaven.

 

    D                            A                                      G

3.    The song filters down, down through the clouds,

D                          A                               G

    it reaches the earth and winds all around,

D                                A                         G  

    and then it breaks up in millions of ways. It goes :

 

A  

la la la la, la la la la la , la la la la, la la la la la,

A7

la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la !

 

   D               A             G

+     Ooh, in cars it becomes a hit,

D                       A                               G

    and in your homes it becomes advertisements,

D                       A                          G

    and in the streets it becomes children, singing,

 

      D     A             G                  D     A             G

+  Ooh, la la la la, la la la la la, ooh, la la la la, la la la la la !

      D     A             G                  D     A             G

    Ooh, la la la la, la la la la la, ooh, la la la la, la la la la la !

      D     A             G

    Ooh, la la la la, la la la la la ....
