Capo 2nd fret 
 
  
D5  
I set a friend of mine up on a date  
                                  
And I told him I'd watch his boy for the day  
    G5                     A5       
And we had a ball playing games, eating dogs  
       D5  
Riding rides at the county fair  
  
I thought he was just being a kid  
  
When we got back to my place and he did what the did  
       G5                          A5  
On a balloon that he won he wrote momma I had fun  
      D5  
And I missed you and I wished you were there  
         E5                  A5            E5                   A5  
I wasn't sure what he had in mind till he jumped up and ran outside? 
 
(Chorus) 
              G5   A5            D5  
And he let it go, and he waved good-bye  
            G5    A5                  D5  
Or was it hello, I don't know but I died inside  
            B5                     A5  
I can still see his excitement him pointin? and smilin?  
     D5           A5           G5  
When it was gone as it could get  
                  E5  
And he turned and asked me,   
A5                        D5 
You think it's in heaven yet?   
  
  
D5  
I struggled for something to say  
  
I was too choked up lacking that kind of faith  
   G5                    A5                       D5  
He had in his heart and before I could start he walked me back inside  
  
He gave me his crayola pen and said I'll bet there's a message  
                                G5  
That you'd like to send, and no doubt he was right  
          A5                         D5  
It?s been locked up inside since my grandpa said good-bye  
  E5                 A5         E5                      A5                          
I took that yellow balloon and wrote till I ran out of room?  
  
(Chorus) 
             G5   A5            D5  
And I let it go, and we waved good-bye  
                G5   A5                 D5  
That seven-year old Lord he opened my eyes  
            B5                     A5  
I can still see his excitement him pointin? and smilin?  
     D5           A5           G5  
When it was gone as it could get  
                  E5  
Then I turned and asked him  
A5                          D5 
You think it's in heaven yet?
