CAPO 3

Intro: G , C9  2x

G
Everyday I drive to work 
C9
Across Flint river bridge
  G
A hundred yards from the spot
      C9
That me and Grandpa'd fish
           D/F
There's a piece of his old fruitstand
       C9
On the side of Sawmill Rd.
    D/F
He'd be there peeling peaches 
         C9
If it was 20 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 lost back in Vietnam
   D/F
Show him a picture of his daughter now
   C9
Shes a doctor and he'd be proud
   Em7             D/F             C9
And tell em we'd be back in a couple days
           Em7            D/F              C9
From the rearview mirror, we'd all watch em wave
      Em7               D/F          C9
And losin them wouldn't be so hard to take
                    D/F     G           INTRO
If Heaven wasn't so far away


I'd hug all three of those girls we lost
From the class of 89
I'd find my bird dog Bo
And take him huntin one more time
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills
Back in 53'
And Janis to sing the second verse of 
Me and Bobby Mcgee
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
It'd do me good just to see them smile

If Heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch em laugh at the way he talks
Find my long lost cousin John
The one we lost back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
Shes a doctor and he'd be proud
And tell em we'd be back in a couple days
From the rearview mirror, we'd all watch em wave
And losin them wouldn't be so hard to take
If Heaven wasn't so far away

    C9                    D/F
If Heaven were only about an hour down the road
     C9                              D/F
I'd see my family and talk to God when I got the urge to go
   C9                          D/F                
I'd say i'm sorry, say I love you, say anything I meant to 
         C9            D
say back when,,,,,,,and then
Em7            D/F              C9
Tell em we'd be back in a couple days
         Em7           D/F              C9
In the rearview mirror we'd all watch em wave
       Em7             D/F           C9
And losin them wouldn't be so hard to take
   C9            D/F
If Heaven wasn't so far 
   C9            D/F
If Heaven wasn't so far
   C9            D/F    G     INTRO
If Heaven wasn't so far away
