[Verse]
G                   G7           
My granddaddy never went to 
           C                      
church, he felt closer to God with
G            G/B
 his hands in the dirt
      C                  Bm       
Doin' hard work with the sun on 
        Am                        
his face, sweat on his brow and the 
D
wind in his hair
     C            D
He'd say a prayer anywhere

        G                         
He'd be standin' in the middle of 
G7                    C          
fresh mown field, the spirit 
            G       G/B
would move him, and he'd just kneel
          C                  Bm   
And start givin' thanks, for God's
                         Am     
 green earth and when he came to 
        D
church he'd prefer his

[Chorus]
G        G/F#   Em    D        
Blue sky cathe- -dral with its 
C          Bm    Am   D
white pine stee- -ple
G               G7/F       
Sunrise for a   stained glass 
            C                  
window, singin' along with that 
     F7/Eb
songbird hymnal
Continues after the ad
              C   Bm       Am    
Made his soul fly like an  eagle 
D          G        G7/F   C     D
under that blue sky cathe- -dral

G                       G7       
Every now and then some folks 
        C                         
from town, they'd drop in and try 
G               G/B
to bring him 'round
          C       Bm               
Into the fold but he'd just smile, 
Am                            D  
fix them some tea and let 'em 
        Bm
talk a while
    C           D
And when they'd leave, he'd say to 
me

G                       G7       
Girl, some people gotta have four
          C                    G  
 walls to keep to word to hear the
      G/B
 call
    C               Bm         Am
And that's okay but as for me, I 
          D
do better underneath my

[Chorus]
G        G/F#   Em    D        
Blue sky cathe- -dral with its 
C          Bm    Am   D
white pine stee- -ple
G             G7/F               
Sunrise for a stained glass 
   C                       F7/Eb
window, singin' along with that 
songbird hymnal
             C   Bm      Am    D
Made my soul fly like an eagle 
        G        G7/F   C     D
under my blue sky cathe- -dral
F                             
It's been years since he's been 
           C/E
gone, we buried him up on the hill
    Eb                            
But it don't matter where I am, I 
D
feel him with me still, --- under my

[Chorus]
G        G/F# Em      D        
Blue sky ca- thedral with its 
C          Bm    Am  D
white pine stee- ple
G             G7/F               
Sunrise for a stained glass 
   C                       F7/Eb
window, singin' along with that 
songbird hymnal
              C           Bm  Am  
Makes my soul fly like an ea -gle 
D        G        G7/F   C     D
under my blue sky cathe- -dral
