G                         Cadd9
Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
  G                                 Cadd9
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa fished
           D/F                                Cadd9
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of Sawmill Road
   D/F                                 Cadd9
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
Bm7                     Cadd9
      And what I wouldn't give
Bm7                                  Cadd9       D/F
To ride around in that old truck with him

  G
If heaven wasn't so far away
    Cadd9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
   D/F
Introduce them to their grandpa
    Cadd9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
G
Find my long lost cousin John
    Cadd9
The one we left back in Vietnam
 D/F
Show him a picture of his daughter now
 Cadd9
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
 Em7                 D/F             Cadd9
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
        Em7             D/F                Cadd9
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
      Em7                 D/F           Cadd9
Yeah losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
                    D/F     G         (Intro)
If heaven wasn't so far away

G                                                 Cadd9
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
G                                        Cadd9
And I'd find my bird dog Bo and take him huntin' one more time
    D/F                              Cadd9
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
    D/F                               Cadd9
And Janis to sing the second verse of Me and Bobby McGee
Bm7                Cadd9
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
     Bm7                        Cadd9      D/F
It'd do me good just to see them smile
 G
If heaven wasn't so far away
    Cadd9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
   D/F
Introduce them to their grandpa
    Cadd9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
G
Find my long lost cousin John
    Cadd9
The one we left back in Vietnam
 D/F

        Em7             D/F                Cadd9
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
      Em7                 D/F           Cadd9
Yeah losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
   Cadd9            D/F
If heaven wasn't so far
   Cadd9            D/F
If heaven wasn't so far
   Cadd9            D/F    G     (Intro)
If heaven wasn't so far away

So far away
