Intro: BB

Vs:
BB       D MajorD
I look at the sky
      E MajorE       BB
I see an airplane as it flies
      BB          D MajorD
Is this the way they said Jesus came?
         E MajorE
Gone through St Louis
      BB
Gone straightaway
        E MajorE        BB
And I hear the winter will cut you quick
        E MajorE            BB
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick

Chs: BB D MajorD E MajorE BB (x2)

Vs:
BB       D MajorD
Woman are you home
       E MajorE        BB
A augmentedA house of cards a frame of bones
    BB      D MajorD
Here I am earthly bound
     E MajorE        BB
Said Hallelujah Im going down
        E MajorE       BB
And the river Jordan is deep and wide
        E MajorE            BB
I think I see forever across on the other side

I look at the sky
     E MajorE        BB

Over the old bent cherry trees
        BB
Shivering in a row
        E MajorE        BB
Down here the winter will cut you quick
         E MajorE            BB
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick
