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
