G                                 D7
Word got back to me you said it’s heaven to be free

                                                   G
So I looked in on your world but no heaven could I see

                                    C
Smoke is standing in your eyes that made your vision dim

                     G             D7                  G
It’s a long way from heaven to the world you’re living in


C                                    G
Heaven don’t have swinging doors and bottles on the table

    C                                D7
The great big purple grapes of wrath printed on the label

G                               C
Both are angels wearing dresses tighter than their skin

                     G             D7                  G
It’s a long way from heaven to the world you’re living in


                          D7
Maybe you would rather be without my love and fancy free

                                                          G
But if you think it’s heaven you’re as wrong as wrong can be

                                 C
You’ve mistaken glory land for a common house of sin

                     G             D7                  G
It’s a long way from heaven to the world you’re living in


C                                    G
Heaven don’t have swinging doors and bottles on the table

    C                                D7
The great big purple grapes of wrath printed on the label

G                               C
Both are angels wearing dresses tighter than their skin

                     G             D7                  G
It’s a long way from heaven to the world you’re living in


C                    G             D7                  G
It’s a long way from heaven to the world you’re living in
