[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G                               Cadd9
     Eve_ry day I drive to work across     Flint River
Bridge
  G
A hundred yards from the spot
      Cadd9
Where me   and grandpa fished
          D
There's a piece of his old fruit stand
           Cadd9
On the side     of Sawmill Road
     D
He'd be there peeling peaches
         Cadd9
If it was     twenty years ago

[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                        Cadd9
  And what I wouldn't give
   Bm                                    Cadd9 D
To ride around in that old truck with him

[Chorus]
   G
If heaven was_n't so far away
    Cadd9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
D
Introduce 'em to their grandpa
Cadd9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
    G
I'd find my long lost cousin John
    Cadd9
The one  we left back in Vietnam
D
Show him a picture of his daughter now
Cadd9
She's a doctor and he'd be proud

[Post-Chorus]
Em                   D                   Cadd9
Tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
       Em
In the rear view mirror,
D                      Cadd9
we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah,
    Em                   D         Cadd9
and losing them wouldn't be so hard     to take
   Cadd9             D       G
If heaven was_n't so far away

[Verse 2]
Cadd9    G
     I'd hug all three of those girls
                 Cadd9
We lost from the class of ninetynine
        G
And I'd find my bird dog Bo
             Cadd9
And take him huntin' one more time
D                                Cadd9
Ask Hank why he took those pills back in fiftythree
    D
And Janis to sing the second verse of
Cadd9
     "Me and Bobby McGee"

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm                              Cadd9
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
     Bm                          Cadd9 D
It'd do me good just to see them smile

[Chorus]
   G
If heaven was_n't so far away
    Cadd9
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
D
Introduce 'em to their grandpa
Cadd9
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
    G
I'd find my long lost cousin John
    Cadd9
The one  we left back in Vietnam
D
Show him a picture of his daughter now
Cadd9

[Post-Chorus]
Em                   D                   Cadd9

In the rear view mirror,
D                  Cadd9

Yeah,
    Em                   D         Cadd9
and losing them wouldn't be so hard     to take
   Cadd9             D
If heaven was_n't so far
   Em              D
If heaven wasn't so far
   Cadd9             D       G
If heaven was_n't so far away

[Outro]
Cadd9           G
     So far away
Cadd9
     So far away
G Cadd9 G
