My Home In The Sky

A E7


[Verse 1]
A             F#m       Bm
Some say that heaven is beyond the blue
E7                                D                  A
But I've done some looking, and I don't think that's true
A                   F#m                  Bm
Lookin' up from the flatlands, birds and clouds floating by
E7                             D             A
I'd say that heaven is about a thousand feet high


[Chorus]
A                   F#m     Bm
It's my home in the sky, my home in the sky
E7                                       D            A
The hawk makes the circles through which the swallows fly
A                     F#m          Bm
When the world is too much down on my back I lie
E7                             D           A
And look up with longing at my home in the sky


[Break]

A F#m Bm E7 D A


[Verse 2]
A                    F#m         Bm
Well I don't need no angels with big chicken wings
E7                   D             A
Or halos or harps or none of those things
A              F#m         Bm
I just want to do what the thunderheads do
E7                                     D            A
See the sunset and the moonrise from a new point of view


[Chorus]
A                     F#m     Bm
That's my home in the sky, my home in the sky
E7                                       D            A
The hawk makes the circles through which the swallows fly
A                     F#m          Bm
When the world is too much down on my back I lie
E7                             D           A
And look up with longing at my home in the sky


[Break]
A F#m Bm E7 D A


[Verse 3]
A                 F#m       Bm
Sometimes I wanna leave the sad little details
E7                        D              A
Put my soul's mast up and stretch out my sails
A               F#m      Bm
When my life is over and it's time to go
E7                              D     A
I'd like to see how they're all doing below


[Chorus]
A                   F#m     Bm
From my home in the sky, my home in the sky
E7                                       D            A
The hawk makes the circles through which the swallows fly
A                     F#m          Bm
When the world is too much down on my back I lie
E7                             D           A
And look up with longing at my home in the sky
