Verse 1:
C                     G
He was a good man, he wrote a letter to his wife
F                                           C                   G
In the middle of a desert sand, he said his last thoughts about life
                     C              G
Said I’m proud of my country, that old red and white
                      F               C           G
I’m so proud of the memories, of the ones I left behind
                     C
I’m so proud of that camouflage that I wore
   G
I swore I knew what I was fighting for
      F                 C                      G
The last thing that He said on that hot desert sand

Chorus:
C
There’s got to be heaven up there
    G
A final resting place
                         Am
We all got to be going somewhere
       F
Where we can see gods face
             C
A place with no more pain, no more heartache
                      G
A place with no more tears
                     Am              F
There’s got to be a heaven up there
          G                C      Am C F
Cause it sure is hell down here
          G  Am        F     C G C G
It sure is hell down here


Verse 2:
C                          G
She was a good girl; the kind you’d like to be yourself
     G        Am                                 F
A little bit introverted, didn’t want to ever ask for help
                    G
She thought she knew who she was, the way the world works
                                            F                    C
But she couldn’t find her place and nobody listening or put her first
         F
So she wrote on the last page

Chorus:
C
There’s got to be heaven up there
    G
A final resting place
                         Am
We all got to be going somewhere
       F
Where we can see gods face
             C
A place with no more pain, no more heartache
                      G
A place with no more tears
                     Am              F
There’s got to be a heaven up there
          G                C      Am C F
Cause it sure is hell down here
          G  Am        F     C G C G
It sure is hell down here

Verse 3:
                 C            G
The cancer was growing fast, family by her bed,
                         Am      G
They all knew this would be her last
           F              C
The last moment she ever had
                         G         C
The angels were coming down, all around
           G
She could see them clear as day
                 F
So she took her daughters hand
          C                       F
And she said with a smile on her face

Outro:
C
There’s got to be heaven up there
    G
A final resting place
                         Am
We all got to be going somewhere
       F
Where we can see gods face
             C
A place with no more pain, no more heartache
                      G
A place with no more tears
                     Am              F
There’s got to be a heaven up there
