Heaven Acoustic Chords & Tabs
I figured this out on the ukulele and I didn't have an electric guitar at the time,
so I played this on acoustic after. It sounds good. I've only been playing since June
and this is my first tab, so I hope it's right...

I don't know the chord names, so let's just call them C1 and C2. If you listen to the
strumming, it shouldn't be that hard to figure out. It's just two chords for the whole
song.
C1 C2

|B--2--| |B--4---|
|G--3--| |G--4---|

Save me from this prison
Lord, help me get away
Cause only you can save me now
From this misery
I've been lost in my own place
And I'm getting weary
How far is heaven
And I know I need to change
My ways of livin'
How far is heaven?
Lord can you tell me
(Solo 2)

I've been locked up way too long
In this crazy world, how far is heaven
I just keep on prayin' Lord
Just keep on livin', how far is heaven
Lord can you tell me
How far is heaven
Lord can you tell me
(Solo 3)

(This is where the bridge would be, but unfortunately, I don't know it.)
Cause I know there's a better place
Than this place I'm livin', how far is heaven
And I just got to have some faith
And just keep on giving, how far is heaven
I just wanna know how far

That's it! I don't know the bridge and part of solo 3(the really fast part), but the
rest should be pretty accurate. Have fun.
\ means slide down
/ means slide up
