Capo 4

Intro: G , C9 , G , C9

G                         C9
Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
  G                                 C9
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished
           D/F                                C9
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
   D/F                                 C9
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
Bm7                     C9
      And what I wouldn't give
Bm7                                  C9       D/F
To ride around in that old truck with him

  G
If heaven wasn't so far away
    C9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
   D/F
Introduce them to their grandpa
    C9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
G
Find my long lost cousin John
    C9
The one we left back in Vietnam
 D/F
Show him a picture of his daughter now
 C9
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
 Em7                 D/F             C9
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
        Em7             D/F                C9
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
      Em7                 D/F           C9
Yeah losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
                    D/F     G         Intro
If heaven wasn't so far away

G                                                 C9
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
G                                        C9
And I'd find my bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
    D/F                              C9
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
    D/F                               C9
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee"
Bm7                C9
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
     Bm7                        C9      D/F
It'd do me good just to see them smile
 G
If heaven wasn't so far away
    C9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
   D/F
Introduce them to their grandpa
    C9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
