A 
When I die and they lay me to rest  
                D 
Gonna go to the place that's best  
                 A 
When they lay me down to die 
       E                       A 
Goin on up to the Spirit in the sky    

Goin on up to the Spirit in the sky  
(Spirit in the sky)  
                         D 
That's where I'm gonna go when I die  
(When I die)  
                    A    
When I die and they lay me to rest 
         E                           A  
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
  

Prepare yourself, you know it's a must  
Gotta have a friend named Jesus  
So you know that when you die  
It's gonna recommend you to the Spirit in the sky  
(Spirit in the sky)  

Goin on up to the Spirit in the sky  
That's where you're gonna go when you die  
(When you die)  
When I die and they lay me to rest  
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best  

Never been a sinner, I've never sinned  
I've got a friend named Jesus  
So you know that when I die  
It's gonna set me up with the Spirit in the sky  

REPEAT Chorus (x2)
