Intro.:  |(A) |(D) | x 2

(A)Every day I drive to work a-(D)cross Flint River bridge
A (A)hundred yards from the spot where (D)me and grandpa fished
There's a (E)piece of his old fruit stand on the (D)side of Sawmill Road
He'd (E)be there peelin' peaches if it was (D) twenty years ago

(Pre-chorus)
(C#m) And what I wouldn't (D)give to (C#m)ride around in that old truck with (D)him (E)

(Chorus)
If (A)heaven wasn't so far away, I'd (D)pack up the kids and go for the day
(E)Introduce them to their grandpa, (D)watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
I'd (A)find my long lost cousin John, the (D)one we left back in Vietnam
(E)Show him a picture of his daughter now, (D)she's a doctor and he'd be proud
Then (F#m)tell him we'd be (E/G#)back in a couple of (D)days
In the (F#m)rear view mirror (E/G#)we'd all watch 'em (D)wave
Yeah, and (F#m)losing them wouldn't (E)be so hard (D) to take
If heaven wasn't so (E)far away (A) (D)

I'd (A)hug all three of those girls we lost from the (D)class of '99
And I'd (A)find my bird dog Bo and take him (D)huntin' one more time
I'd (E)ask Hank why he took those pills (D)back in '53
And (E)Janis to sing the second verse of (D) "Me and Bobby McGee"

(Pre-chorus)
Sit (C#m)on a cloud and visit for a (D)while, it'd (C#m)do me good just to see them (D)smile (E)

(Chorus)
If (A)heaven wasn't so far away, I'd (D)pack up the kids and go for the day
(E)Introduce them to their grandpapa, (D)watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
I'd (A)find my long lost cousin John, the (D)one we left back in Vietnam
(E)Show him a picture of his daughter now, (D)she's a doctor and he'd be proud
Then (F#m)tell him we'd be (E/G#)back in a couple of (D)days
In the (F#m)rear view mirror (E/G#)we'd all watch 'em (D)wave
Yeah, and (F#m)losing them wouldn't (E)be so hard (D) to take
If heaven wasn't so (E)far

(Tag)
If (D/F#)heaven wasn't so (E/G#) far, if (D)heaven wasn't so (E)far a-(A)way (D)
So far a-(A)way, (D) so far a-(A)way (D) (A) -----
