Eb
I wrote a letter to my granddaughter
                                Bb
I said I'm sorry I don't get to meet ya
                       Eb
I wrote a letter to my grandmother
                            Bb
Said I really can't wait to see ya


[Refrain 1]
   Dm
In Heaven
  Dm              Cm                 Dm                       Eb
I heard there's a river of gold that flows through a crowd of angels
     Cm                 Dm                Gm
To a city that knows no pain, no fear, or anger
        Cm                 Dm
And I'm sittin' here in my tears prayin'

F
Oooh


[Chorus]
Gm                Eb                  F
Father, won't you please forgive this soldier
Gm                       Eb           F
He claims that what he's doing is for you
Gm            Eb               F
Father, I can feel you getting closer
            Eb
And I'm not ready
             Cm
But we don't choose

              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls


[Verse 2]
              Gm                      Eb
I thought I'd only ever see it on the TV
F                        Gm
I never thought it would be me
        Bb                          F
Now I'm layin' here begging you for mercy
Gm                           Eb
Wondering if you'll leave or see me through these
F
Blood stains
Gm              Eb
Take me with my mistakes
F                      Gm       Eb
You're who's left with this pain


[Refrain 2]
     F
From Heaven
       Dm         Cm                 Dm                       Eb
With a ray from a river of gold that flows through a crowd of angels
     Cm                 Dm                Gm
To a city that knows no pain, no fear, or anger
        Cm               Dm
Now I'm lyin' here in my tears prayin'
F
Oooh


[Chorus]
Gm                Eb                  F
Father, won't you please forgive this soldier
Gm                       Eb           F
He claims that what he's doing is for you
Gm            Eb               F
Father, I can feel you getting closer
            Eb
And I'm not ready
             Cm
But we don't choose

              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
              Gm   Eb   F
When the bell tolls
