Capo 4

Intro: G5 , C5 , G5 , C5

G5                         C5
Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
  G5                                 C5
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished
           D5                                C5
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
   D5                                 C5
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
B5                     C5
      And what I wouldn't give
B5                                  C5       D5
To ride around in that old truck with him

  G5
If heaven wasn't so far away
    C5
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
   D5
Introduce them to their grandpa
    C5
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
G5
Find my long lost cousin John
    C5
The one we left back in Vietnam
 D5
Show him a picture of his daughter now
 C5
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
 E5                 D5             C5
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
        E5             D5                C5
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
      E5                 D5           C5
Yeah losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
                    D5     G5         Intro
If heaven wasn't so far away

G5                                                 C5
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
G5                                        C5
And I'd find my bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
    D5                              C5
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
    D5                               C5
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee"
B5                C5
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
     B5                        C5      D5
It'd do me good just to see them smile
 G5
If heaven wasn't so far away
    C5
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
   D5
Introduce them to their grandpa
    C5
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
