intro : G , Cadd9 , G , Cadd9
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
