Rhett Akins - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away guitar chord

CAPO 3

Intro: G, Cadd9 2x

G

Everyday I drive to work

Cadd9

Across Flint river bridge

G

A hundred yards from the spot

Cadd9

That me and Grandpa'd fish

D/F

There's a piece of his old fruitstand

Cadd9

On the side of Sawmill Rd.

D/F

He'd be there peeling peaches

Cadd9

If it was 20 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 lost back in Vietnam

D/F

Show him a picture of his daughter now

Cadd9

Shes a doctor and he'd be proud

Em7 D/F Cadd9

And tell em we'd be back in a couple days

Em7 D/F Cadd9

From the rearview mirror, we'd all watch em wave

Em7 D/F Cadd9

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

Cadd9 D/F

If Heaven were only about an hour down the road

Cadd9 D/F

I'd see my family and talk to God when I got the urge to go

Cadd9 D/F

I'd say i'm sorry, say I love you, say anything I meant to

Cadd9 D

say back when,,,,,,,and then

Em7 D/F Cadd9

Tell em we'd be back in a couple days

Em7 D/F Cadd9

In the rearview mirror we'd all watch em wave

Em7 D/F Cadd9

And losin 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
