[Verse 1]
Gmaj7             Am7
In heaven, that's where
you'll see me, my love
D7                 D
 Not on the earth, with
                  Gmaj7   Gmaj7
 its troubles and cares
Gmaj7             Am7
In heaven, that's where
you'll see me, my love
D7                 D
 Not on the earth, with
     Gmaj7              Am
 its toils and snares

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7     B7
 So don't go runnin'
Em                 A7
 to the mountains, my love
Am7          D
 Because you know that
 D7      Gmaj7     G  D
 I won't be there
Cmaj7      B7
 And don't go runnin'
Em                 A7
 to the hillsides, my love
Am7             D7
 Just lift your head
             Gmaj7
 up and say; a prayer
