Heart Up In The Sky Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, ol' Joe wok[Bm]e up[G]
at a quarter to [D]five
'Cause the girls needed [Bm]milkin'
[G]or else they'll go dry[D]
He'd done it [Bm]for 45 years,
[G]so it was no sur[D]prise
'Til he walked [A]out[Bm]side and seen
[A]that heart up in the sky
[D]

[Verse 2]
Well, it was 40 feet [Bm]up[G]
and it was ten feet [D]wide
It was pumping [A]like a [Bm]mad man
[G]swept up in the[D] tide
And when his [Bm]wife,
she came [G]out from the [Asus4]inside[D]
She fell to her [Bm]knees[A]
and she [D]almost died

[Verse 3]
[D]
Well, it shined like a [Bm]quarter
[G]in a baby's han[D]d
On the Fourth of [Bm]Ju ly
[G]near the Rio Gra[D]nde
It shined like a [Bm]diamond [G]in a jar of san[D]d
And it made Joe's [Bm]cornfield
look [A]like it was born [D]again

[Verse 4]
[D]
I put [G]my heart up [A]in the [D]sky,
I [G]pushed it [A]way up [D]high
[A]I just won[G]dered wha[A]t the peo[Bm]ple'd do[G]
If they'd see [D]my heart
up [A]there in [D]the blue?
I put my [G]heart up [A]in the sky,
[D]I c[G]an't really tel[A]l you[D] why
I just [G]wondered [A]what the [Bm]people'd [D]do
[G]If they'd see[D] my heart
up [A]there in the [D]blue?

[Verse 5]
Well, he reached for his [Bm]heart,
[G]like to have him a s[D]troke[A]
And [D]he called [A]for his[D] wif[Bm]e,
who thought it was just [G]some kind [A]of joke[D]
Like when [A]he called the [Bm]preacher up
'cause the [G]hen's laid triple [D]yokes
But up in [Bm]the sky was a heart
that [A]was taller than [D]an oak

[Verse 6]
[D]
I put my [G]heart up [A]in the sky,
[D]I pus[G]hed it way[A] up [D]high
I just [G]wondered [A]what the [Bm]people'd [G]do
If they'd see [D]my heart up [A]there in [D]the blue?
I put my [G]heart up [A]in the [D]sky,
I [G]can't really [A]tell [D]you why
I just [G]wondered [A]what the [Bm]people'd [D]do
[G]If they'd see my [D]heart up the[A]re in the blu[D]e?

[Verse 7]
Well, the first thing they [Bm]did was
get the [G]paper on [D]the wire
And they had their [A]son [Bm]paged,
he [G]was a contractor [A]for [D]hire
And they called their es[Bm]tranged daughter,
[G]she fell in love with a man from the [D]Ozark mire
And a bus pulled [Bm]up with the entire
[A]First Presbyterian [D]choir

[Verse 8]
[D]
They [A]had a doctor called in from [G]town
He [Bm]showed up in a [D]Chevy with
a [A]black bag and a frown
Said there's nothing you could do
to [G]bring that heart back down
It was a healthy [Bm]heart that old [A]Joe found

[Verse 9]
[A]
I put [G]my heart up [A]in the [D]sky,
I [G]pushed it [Asus4]way up hi[D]gh
I just [G]wondered [A]what the [Bm]people'd [G]do
If they'd see [D]my heart up
[Asus4]there in the[A] blue?
[D]I put my hea[G]rt up in [A]the sky,
[D]I can't rea[G]lly tel[A]l you why[D]
I just [G]wondered [A]what the [Bm]people'd [D]do
[G]If they'd see my [D]heart up the[A]re in the blu[D]e?
