VERSE 1: [F#add9][A#m7][D#7sus4] If life is a [G#] river, [D#7sus4] and your heart is a [G#] boat [C#] And just [C#/C] like a [A#m] water baby, baby [F#] born to [G#] float [D#7sus4] And if life is a [G#] wild wind that [D#7sus4] blows way on [G#] high [C#] And your [C#/C] heart is A-[A#m]-melia [F#] dying to [G#] fly
CHORUS: [F#] Heaven [G#] knows [Fm7] no fron-[A#]-tiers [F#] And I've seen [G#] heaven in your [F#add9] eyes [A#m7][D#7sus4]
VERSE 2:
And if life is a [G#] bar room, in [D#7sus4] which we must [G#] wait [C#] Round the [C#/C] man with his [A#m] fingers on the [F#] ivory [G#] gates [D#7sus4] Where we sing until [G#] dawn, of our [D#7sus4] fears and our [G#] fates [C#] And we [C#/C] stack all the [A#m] dead men in [F#] self addressed [G#] crates
BRIDGE:
In your [C#] eyes, faint as the singing of a [G#] lark
That [Fm] somehow this black [A#m] night
Feels warmer for the [F#] spark, warmer for the [C#] spark
To hold us 'til the [G#] day, when [Fm] fear will lose its [A#m] grip
And heaven has its [F#] ways
VERSE 3:
If your life is a [G#] rough bed, of [D#7sus4] brambles and [G#] nails [C#] And your [C#/C] spirit's a [A#m] slave to man's [F#] whips and man's [G#] jails [D#7sus4] Where you thirst and you [G#] hunger for [D#7sus4] justice and [G#] right [C#] And your [C#/C] heart is a [A#m] pure flame of [F#] man's constant [G#] night
