Rhett Akins - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away Chords

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
      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
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
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
