(Original Key: F#)


Intro:

F  Dm, Gm  C7

Verse 1:

F                        Dm
 They say that Heaven is, 10 zillion light years away.
Gm                          C7
 And just the pure at heart, will walk her, righteous streets, someday.

F                        Dm
 They say that Heaven is, 10 zillion light years away.
Bbdim                  Bb7                              Am
 But if there is a God; we need Him now; "where is your God?"
Bb7                            C#+  Dm7
 That's what my friends ask me.
G7              Gm
 And I say it's taken him so long,
           Bb/C          F
'Cos we've got so far to come. Tell me people;

Verse 2:

F                                Dm
 Why can't they say that hate is, 10 zillion light years away?
Gm                           C7
 Why can't the light of good, shine God's love in every soul?

F                         Dm
 Why must my colour black, make me a lesser man?
Bbdim                          Bb7                         Am
 I thought this world was made, for every man, he loves us all;
Bb7             Dm        C#+  Dm7
 That's what my God tells me.
G7              Gm                            Bb/C          F
 And I say it's taken him so long, 'cos we've got so far to come.

Chorus 1:

                      F                 Dm
But in my heart I can feel it, feel his spirit, woah oh, woah oh.
F                        Dm
 Feel it, yeah, feel his spirit.

Verse 3:

F#                            Ebm
 I...can't say that Heaven is, 10 zillion light years away,

 But if so let all be pure at heart,
B
 Just to walk her righteous streets, I pray.

For those who don't believe, will never see the light; "where is my God?"

 He lives, in-side of me.

 And I say it's taken him so long,
           B             F#
'Cos we've got so far to come. Now people;

B7              Bbm
 "Where is your God?"
B7             Eb  Eb+ Ebm7
 Inside please let him be.
Ab7             Abm7
 And I say it's taken him so long,
           B             F#
'Cos we've got so far to come. But if you open your heart;

I opened my heart one morning and I sho 'nuff could;
F#                             Ebm

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
        F#                      Ebm
You can feel it, yeah, feel His spirit.
