Eternity Part II (80 Billion Years) Jan Hauenstein

(Em) (Cj7) (D) (Em) (Em/F#)
I´d (G)rather be in (D)Devon than (Em)here in Heaven (C)Seven, (G/B)
E(D/A)ternity is (C)just (D)too (Em)long. (Em/B) (A)
I´d (Em)rather be in a (D)no-place place than to (Em)see another angel´s (C)smiling goofy face,
E(G)ternity is (D)just (C)to(D)o (Em)long. (C) (D)
It´s (G)all too good, and it (D/F#)bores me to death, but (Em)death is not an option (C)in this (G/B)place,
E(G)ternity is (B7)just too (Em)wrong. (Em/B) (A)

Well, I (C)have to say that I (D)had it all,
The first (Em)couple o´ thousand years, I (C)had me a (G)ball,
Wrote (Em)songs with J.(C)S. and (G)Jez, (C) Gordon Bok, John (D)Prine,
(Em)Martha, Fred, Rex, (C)Terry ´n´ Brad, and we (G)had such a great old (D)time!

And the (B7)gig with Warren (Em)Zevon
(B7)Up here in Heaven (Em)Seven -
(F)Thunderous applause from (C)all of mankind,
There´s (F)surely not a better place (C)anyone could ever (D)find! (F) (C) (G) (hold)

(C)Sank all the single malts that (D)ever were made, (Em) and that was (C)great, (G)
(Em)Charlie showed me how to (C)play gui(G)tar (C) in the big tree´s (D)shade.
(Em)Mastered ev´ry instrument that (C)ever was created,
(G)I liked the stone klong-klink, think ´twas (D)Ooffa-Shlonk who made it, but…

I´d (G)rather be in (D)Devon than (Em)here in Heaven (C)Seven, (G/B)
E(D/A)ternity is (C)just (D)too (Em)long. (Em/B) (A)
I´d (Em)rather be in a (D)no-place place than to (Em)see another angel´s (C)smiling goofy face,
E(G)ternity is (D)just (C)to(D)o (Em)long. (C) (D)
It´s (G)all too good, but it (D/F#)bores me to death, and (Em)death is not an option (C)in this (G/B)place,
E(G)ternity is (B7)just too (Em)wrong. (Em/B) (A)

E(Am)ternity is (Fj7)not for me,
No (G)need to ask why, I think it´s (Am)easy to (A)see… (Fj7) (G) (Am) (C/B)

(C)Seventy-two (D)virgins? Al(Em)low me a (C)grin. (G)
Up (Em)here in Heaven (C)Seven, (G)we (C)have much sweeter (D)sin-
gle (Em)ladies. And (C)as St. Peter said, no(G)body´s married (D)here,
And (B7)ev´rything costs (Em)nothing, the (C)food, the (Am)shows, the (D)beer,

But, (C)most of all, re(D)member, the (Em)loving here is (C)free, (G)
Now (Em)go and love the (C)la(G)dies in (C)all eterni(D)ty!
And (Em)that was good, no, (C)excellent, (G)for some billion (D)years,
Said (F)‘Yes!’ to Kim and (C)Marilyn, said (B7)‘No!’ to Britney (Em)Spears.
(Cj7) (D) (Em) (Cj7) (D) (Em) (Am) (D) (B7) (Em) (D) (hold)

But (C)after 80 (D)billion years, there´s (Em)nothing new for (C)me, (G)
The (Em)novelty for (C)ev´ry(G)one has (C)worn so thin, you (D)see?
(Em)Boredom has us (C)in its fangs, e(G)ternity´s too (D)long,
And (F)all you hear from (C)all of us is (B7)this eternal (Em)yawn…(hold)

I´d (G)rather be in (D)Devon than (Em)here in Heaven (C)Seven, (G/B)
E(D/A)ternity is (C)just (D)too (Em)long. (Em/B) (A)
I´d (Em)rather be in a (D)no-place place than to (Em)see another angel´s (C)smiling goofy face,
E(G)ternity is (D)just (C)to(D)o (Em)long. (C) (D)
It´s (G)all really good, it just (D/F#)bores me to death, but (Em)death is not an option (C)in this (G/B)place,
E(G)ternity is (B7)just too (Em)wrong. (Em/B) (A)

And the (Am)old man smiles his (Fj7)evil smile, “Oh (G)well, you had your (Am)fun.
But the magnitude that is e(Fj7)ternity has (G)only just (Am)(hold) begun.”
