Heaven is Waiting
Matthew 13:44, Genesis 24:42
(capo 2nd fret) D- A- G/B- A7sus- A7 D G/B A7sus A7 I don't need no wo-man to kiss me F#/A# Bm A G And I don't need no man to stand by my side D/F# F# G G/F# I don't need to slake my thirst with whiskey Em G A7sus A7 Don't need to shuffle cards to pass the time 'Cause the stars are bright and silvery And with the drag of a lone coyote's whine My Savior's calling, and I'm listening Em A7 D A D Time to saddle up my pony and ride (Chorus) G D 'Cause heaven is waiting just past the horizon. G D/F# Em A7sus A7 Just over the mesas a-cross the great di-vide G D/F# And faith is blaz-ing this trail that I ride on G D/F# Em A7sus A7 Up this mountain I'm pray-in' I have the strength to climb I ain't looking for no seven golden cities, But I know there's a fortune somewhere to find. There's a peace that I hear whisperin' through the pinions Em G A7sus And a love that's taller than the pon-derosa pines (Chorus) G D Dmaj7 So don't ask for no lengthy ex-planation when there F# Ain't no rea-son quite wild enough Bm No words could be as tender G It's greater than the fears that we imagine D/F# More than the warmth that we remember E It's always just be-yond the past A7sus A7 And I must go (Chorus) D- A- G/B- A7sus- A7 Oh, heaven is wait-ing D- A- G/B- A7sus- A7 Oh, heaven is wait-ing D Heaven is wait-ing
