It was a great song to work on , I went for an acoustic/Soul arrangement, as sound of the guitar with the Fuzz Box is so legendary, that I couldn't even try to compete with a simple distortion.

I actually borrowed the bridge from a version "Spirit In The Sky" by Dorothy Morrison, she is a gospel singer that got famous with the song "Oh Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins singers.

I changed the last verse to " I have been a sinner and I sinned", instead of "Never been a sinner I never sinned"

I leave you with the full lyrics!

Cheers!

Spirit In The Sky

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
Gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

LISTEN TO SPIRIT IN THE SKY BY ED PRIVAT ON DSOUND

Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
