Lyrics

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming, walking bass enters]
[clean electric guitar lead line with reverb]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
In the land that's called forever
Far above these bonds we sever
When we leave this world of joy and sorrow
In hopes of that grand tomorrow

[Chorus]
[vocal harmonies enter]
As the trumpets sound their joyful notes
We'll have no more need for hats or coats
'Cause we'll be clothed by the light of the Lord

[Bridge]
[piano accents on offbeats]
So don't try to take it with you
When you journey to heaven's stars
They're so near and yet so very far

[Verse 2]
Heaven's door is always open
And you're welcome to come in
If only you will ask
To be forgiven for your sin

[Solo]
[clean electric guitar solo with light overdrive and tremolo]
[honky-tonk piano fills]

[Chorus]
[full vocal harmonies]
So don't try to take it with you
When you journey to heaven's stars
All you need for survival
Is the light of the Lord

[Outro]
No, don't try to take it with you
When you journey to heaven's stars
All you need for survival
Is the light of the Lord
[final acoustic guitar flourish]
