E A
[Verse 1]
A
Heaven was abuzz, they knew who it was
D A
When he raced in through the gates
A
Passed 'em all in line like he did every time
E
On Earth, that's what made him great
A
Had a look around, shook his head up and down
D B
Let out with that #3 yell
A
Right there on holy land, stuck out his hand
E A A7
Said, "Howdy! My name's Dale"
[Chorus]
D
He thanked God he was blessed with the courage
A
He was asked to do all it took to get a win
D
His only fear was when he got here
B E
Saint Peter wouldn't let him in
D
He had a wild side, how he lived is how he died
A B
Pedal to the metal going fast
A
Now there's a trophy collection in a corner of heaven
E A
Of a man with a checkered past
[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 2]
A
Well, the first thing he did was ask about his dad
D A
Then he went on over to his house
A
Said, "I bet you never knew I'd be coming here too"
E
Said, "Son, you know I had my doubts"
A
As they sat and talked, up a man walked
D B
Dale knew he wasn't a fan
A
Ol' Ralph was floored when he'd thrown Henry Ford
E A A7
He was proud to be a Chevy man
[Chorus]
D
He thanked God he was blessed with the courage
A
He was asked to do all it took to get a win
D
His only fear was when he got here
B E
Saint Peter wouldn't let him in
D
He had a wild side, how he lived is how he died
A B
Pedal to the metal going fast
A
Now there's a trophy collection in a corner of heaven
E A
Of a man with a checkered past

[Bridge]
Em
On Sunday afternoon
B7
After the sound of the last church bell
D
He'll be riding with Junior
E E7
In heaven, he's still giving 'em... well
[Chorus]
D
He thanked God he was blessed with the courage
A
He was asked to do all it took to get a win
D
His only fear was when he got here
B E
Saint Peter wouldn't let him in
D
He had a wild side, how he lived is how he died
A B
Pedal to the metal going fast
A
Now there's a trophy collection in a corner of heaven
E A
Of a man with a checkered past
A
Now there's a trophy collection in a corner of heaven
E A
Of a man with a checkered past
