Nearest Thing To Heaven chords by Johnny Cash

Nearest Thing To Heaven:Johnny Cash.
#24 in 1958.
***(I found this song done in D# as well as D.)

#1.
D
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue.
  D
I held my breath and watched the western sunset's golden hue.
D
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green..
               D
but you're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen.

CHORUS:
D

You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
       D
I have searched for happiness so long and far.
G
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you.
                 D
Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

#2.
D
I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms..
         D
when the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms.
G
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do,
           D
you're the nearest thing to Heaven, darlin', you.

CHORUS:
D
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
       D
I have searched for happiness so long and far.
G
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you.
                 D
Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

#3.
D
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day.
            D
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away.
D
I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy your worth..
                 D
cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven on this Earth.

CHORUS:
D
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
       D
I have searched for happiness so long and far.
G
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you.
                 D
Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
