Sherrie Austin - Streets of Heaven


  ----->(Capo 1st fret)<----



(verse 1)
       A        D           G                      A
Hello God, it's me again, 2 a.m. room of three or four,
                    D              G                 A
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug-of-war,
  A                      D            G                   A
A sleeping child between us, may not make it through the night,
   A                 D  D/F#        G              Asus/A
I'm fightin back the tears, as she fights for her life,


(chorus)
         D                G
Well it must be kind of crowded,
A                   D
On the streets of heaven,
       Bm       G                A-D-A
So tell me what do you need her for,
D                   G        
Don't you know one day she'll be your, 
A               D               Bm
Little girl, forever, but righ now, 
   G                A - Asus
I need her so much more,
                Bm                D
She's much too young, to be on her own,
Bm                  G
Barely just turned seven, 
   D                G              C    G 
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
     D      A      D
The streets of Heaven,


(verse 2)

       A                D           G              A
Tell me God, do you remember, the wishes that she made,
                    D            G                 A
AS she blew out the candles, on her last birthday cake,
 A                   D      G               A
She wants to ride a pony, when she's big enough,
   A                    D           G              Asus/A
She wants to marry her daddy, when she's all grown up,



(chorus)
         D                G
Well it must be kind of crowded,
A                   D
On the streets of heaven,
       Bm       G                A-D-A
So tell me what do you need her for,
D                   G        
Don't you know one day she'll be your, 
A               D               Bm
Little girl, forever, but righ now, 
   G                A - Asus
I need her so much more,
                Bm                D
She's much too young, to be on her own,
Bm                  G
Barely just turned seven, 
   D                  G            C    G 
So who will hold her hand when she crosses,
     D      A      G
The streets of Heaven,

(verse 3)
                A               D
Lord don't you know, she's my angel,
          G                A
You've got plenty of your own,
      A        A/C#          D   D/G
And I know you hold a place for her,
            G      D     A
But she's already got a home,
      A                          D
Well I don't know if you're listening,
      G                         A
But prayin's all that's left to do,
     A                   D
So I ask you Lord have mercy,
     G              A
You lost a son once to,


(chorus)
         D                G
Well it must be kind of crowded,
A                   D
On the streets of heaven,
       Bm       G                A-D-A
So tell me what do you need her for,
D                   G        
Don't you know one day she'll be your, 
A               D               Bm
Little girl, forever, but righ now, 
   G                A - Asus
I need her so much more,


(bridge)
       Bm                     A
Lord I know, once you've made up your mind,
  G
There's no use in beggin, 
       Bm                 G
So if you, take her with you today,
 D                 G
You make sure she looks both ways,
   D                    G            C    G
And would you hold her hand when she crosses,
     D      A      G
The streets of Heaven,
  (no chord)      D
The streets of Heaven,
