Intro
E , A9 x2

E                                   A9  
Just this side of Heaven there's a little white house
E                                    B4
Take a ride at the Pearly Gates, go 'bout a quarter mile south
           E
There's an angel sittin' on a front porch swing
      A9                             E
In a cotton gown waitin' on you gettin' in



A9                                    E
Hallelujah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow
A9                                   E
Hallelujah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo
      C#m7                              A9
Gonna take her in my arms and hold her tight
E                          A9                            E
Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven


E                                  A9
Just this side of Heaven, I was a lonely soul
     E                           B4
Till I found my salvation in the woman I hold
    E
I swear her love is spiritual
A9                          E
Nothin' short of a miracle for me



A9                                    E
Hallelujah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow
A9                                   E
Hallelujah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo
      C#m7                              A9
Gonna take her in my arms and hold her tight
E                          A9                            E
Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven


A9                          E
And her hair falls down like a gentle rain
A9                            C#m7            B4
Makin' music, gonna tell her of callin' my name
  A9
Hey, yeah



A9                                    E
Hallelujah, I can see the shimmer of the porch light glow
A9                                   E
Hallelujah, I can see her shadow in the soft halo
      C#m7                              A9
Gonna take her in my arms and hold her tight
E                          A9                            E
Love her like a devil and spend all night just this side of Heaven


           A9     E       A9
Just this side of Heaven
          E A9   E
Just this side of Heaven
