If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away
Capo:4th fret
[Intro:] G, Cadd9, G, Cadd9
[Verses]
G Cadd9
Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
G Cadd9
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished
D/F Cadd9
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
D/F Cadd9
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
Bm7 Cadd9
And what I wouldn't give
Bm7 Cadd9 D/F
To ride around in that old truck with him
G
If heaven wasn't so far away
Cadd9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
D/F
Introduce them to their grandpa
Cadd9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
G
Find my long lost cousin John
Cadd9
The one we left back in Vietnam
D/F
Show him a picture of his daughter now
Cadd9
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
Em7 D/F Cadd9
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
Em7 D/F Cadd9
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Em7 D/F Cadd9
Yeah losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
D/F G Intro
If heaven wasn't so far away
G Cadd9
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
G Cadd9
And I'd find my bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
D/F Cadd9
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
D/F Cadd9
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee"
Bm7 Cadd9
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
Bm7 Cadd9 D/F
It'd do me good just to see them smile
G
If heaven wasn't so far away
Cadd9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day

Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks

Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa
Fished
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of
Sawmill Road
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
And what I wouldn't give
To ride around in that old truck with him
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
I'd find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
And I'd find my bird dog Bo
And take him huntin' one more time
