He Was In Heaven Before He Died Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C

CThere's a rainbow of Fbabies

 Draped Gover the graveCyard

 Where Fall the dead Csailors

 Wait for their Gbrides

 And the Ccold bitter snow

 Has Fstrangled each Cgrassblade

 Where the Fsalt from their Ctears

GWashed out with the Ctide

Chorus

 And I Fsmiled on the CWabash

 The Glast time I Cpassed it

 Yes I Fgave her a Cwink

 From the passenger Gside

 And my Cfoot fell asleep

 As I Fswallowed my Ccandy

 Knowing Fhe was in Cheaven

GBefore he Cdied

 Now the Charbor's on Ffire

 With the Gdreams and deCsires

 Of a Fthousand young Cpoets

 Who failed 'cause they Gtried

 For a Crhyme without reason

 Floats Fdown to the Cbottom

 Where the Fscavengers Ceat 'em

 And Gwash in with the Ctide

(Repeat Chorus)

 The Csun can play Ftricks

 With your Geyes on the Chighway

 The Fmoon can lay Csideways

 Till the ocean stands Gstill

 But a Cperson can't tell

 His Fbest friend he Cloves him

 Till Ftime has stopped Cbreathing

 You're Galone on the Chill

(Repeat Chorus)
