Heavens Only Days Down The Road chords by Shelby Lynne

• Capo on 2nd

Intro: Am to C(Bnote) fingering, Dm, C/CM7 to CG, Dm
Verse: Am Em Dm
Chorus: G7sus4 Asus Dm Dmmaj7 G7sus4 Asus Dm Dmmaj7



  In the recording Shelby will do this 4-line intro to the song - sing
strongly strumming (1strum) each chord of the verse :

There will come a day when they gather and stand around
Revel in the glory and my body in the ground
There will be disciples and a shroud that covers me
I won't be afraid cause my soul has been set free

Intro strum:  Am- Em- Dm - 4x

verse = Am Em Dm
100 so miles from the Mobile River
Lord I can't have her so I got to kill her
Heaven's only days down the road
A liquor store down on the county line
Don't want all the land but what's next to mine
Heaven's only days down the road

Chorus: G7sus4
I been insane since I was 9
Asus
Never was the cryin' but the fightin' kind
Dm           Dmmaj7
Oh yeah
G7sus4
Load up the gun full of regret
Asus
I ain't even pulled the trigger yet
Dm           Dmmaj7
Oh yeah

verse = Am Em Dm
Lost all the faith a man can own
My hopes are empty and so is my soul
Heaven's only days down the road
Look at my fate in the paper now
I want to put her back but I don't know how
Heaven's only days down the road

Chorus
Nobody wants me down here no more
Look at what I did to make then hate me for
Oh yeah
Can't blame the whiskey or my Mammy's ways
2 little girls are better off this way
Oh yeah.

Play harder Am to Em to Dm Ohhhh ooooo  Am, Em, Dm  4x

     Am                Em                     Dm
Oh heaven's only days down the road
Oh heaven's only days down the road.
Oh heaven's only days down the road.

Am to Em
Down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.

(two gunshots- I don't think the song would be the same without the demonstrative sound
at the end)
