VERSE 1: [Fadd9][Am7][D7sus4] If life is a [G] river, [D7sus4] and your heart is a [G] boat [C] And just [C/B] like a [Am] water baby, baby [F] born to [G] float [D7sus4] And if life is a [G] wild wind that [D7sus4] blows way on [G] high [C] And your [C/B] heart is A-[Am]-melia [F] dying to [G] fly
CHORUS: [F] Heaven [G] knows [Em7] no fron-[A]-tiers [F] And I've seen [G] heaven in your [Fadd9] eyes [Am7][D7sus4]
VERSE 2:
And if life is a [G] bar room, in [D7sus4] which we must [G] wait [C] Round the [C/B] man with his [Am] fingers on the [F] ivory [G] gates [D7sus4] Where we sing until [G] dawn, of our [D7sus4] fears and our [G] fates [C] And we [C/B] stack all the [Am] dead men in [F] self addressed [G] crates
BRIDGE:
In your [C] eyes, faint as the singing of a [G] lark
That [Em] somehow this black [Am] night
Feels warmer for the [F] spark, warmer for the [C] spark
To hold us 'til the [G] day, when [Em] fear will lose its [Am] grip
And heaven has its [F] ways
VERSE 3:
If your life is a [G] rough bed, of [D7sus4] brambles and [G] nails [C] And your [C/B] spirit's a [Am] slave to man's [F] whips and man's [G] jails [D7sus4] Where you thirst and you [G] hunger for [D7sus4] justice and [G] right [C] And your [C/B] heart is a [Am] pure flame of [F] man's constant [G] night
