            A5     F5              C5
Well ol joe woke up at quarter to five
                    A5     F5             C5
Cause the girls need milkin lest they go dry
                 A5         F5          C5
He'd done it for 45 years so it was no suprise
                A5               G5               C5
Til he walked outside to see his heart up in the sky
                 A5     F5           C5   
It shined like a quarter in a babys hand
                 A5  F5             C5   
On the fourth of july near the rio grande
                A5      F5            C5
It shined like a diamond in a jar of sand
                 A5                  G5            C5
And it made joes poor field look like it was born again
         
         F5        G5       C5
I put my heart up in this sky
  F5         G5      C5
I pushed it way up high
       F5        G5        A5       F5          C5                G5            C5
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
         F5        G5      C5
I put my heart up in the sky
         F5      G5        C5
And cant really tell you why
       F5        G5        A5       F5          C5                G5            C5   
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
                       
                       A5     F5               C5
Well he reached for his heart, liked to had a stroke
               A5                      F5                 C5
Called for his wife who thought it was just some sort of joke
                        A5                    F5                C5
Like when he called the preacher up cause the hens laid triple yokes
              A5                       G5              C5
But up in the sky was a heart that was taller than an oak
          A5 F5                    C5
Forty feet up and it was ten feet wide
                  A5      F5             C5
Was pumpin like a mad man swept up in a tide
             A5                F5        C5
And when his wife she came out from the inside
                A5   G5               C5
She fell to her knees and she almost died

         F5        G5       C5
I put my heart up in this sky
  F5         G5      C5
I pushed it way up high
       F5        G5        A5       F5          C5                G5            C5
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
         F5        G5      C5
I put my heart up in the sky
         F5      G5        C5
And cant really tell you why
       F5        G5        A5       F5          C5                G5            C5   
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue           

           G5                     F5
They had a doctor called in from town
   C5                           G5
He showed up in a chevy with a black bag and a frown
            G5                       F5                         
Said theres nothing you could do to bring that heart back down
                    A5                G5
Cause Its a healthy heart that ol joe found

         F5        G5       C5
I put my heart up in this sky
  F5         G5      C5
I pushed it way up high
       F5        G5        A5       F5          C5                G5            C5
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
         F5        G5      C5
I put my heart up in the sky
         F5      G5        C5
And cant really tell you why
       F5        G5        A5       F5          C5                G5            C5
