Heaven Aint Ready For Me Emmylou Harris
[B] [E] [B] [E]
When they [B]carried you into the parlor
Your [E]wounds were the worst I'd [B]seen
Cold as snow your body [G#m]trembled
[F#]Craddled in the arms of morphine
[B]All the kinfolk cried out loud
Good s[E]hepherd save this [B]man
But you whispered with [G#m]icy breath
It is [F#]not in his hands and you said
[E]Heaven ain't ready for me [B]yet and you looked at me
[E]Give me your heart and take a b[B]et and you held my hand
[E]Now I've seen your face now that we've [F#]met
I shall not slip [B]away[E]
[B]Mama said to me, daughter
You must [E]nurse your cousin [B]well
So I cared for you thru [G#m]days and night
But your [F#]fever I did not quell
[B]For weeks I watched you suffer pain
That no [E]laudanum could [B]ease
All I had left to [G#m]do is pray
Lord have [F#]mercy on him please - and you said
[E]Heaven ain't ready for me [B]yet and you looked at me
[E]Give me your heart and take a [B]bet and you held my hand
[E]Now I've seen your face now that we've[F#] met
I shall not slip [B]away[E]
[B]Now winters lights has cooled the air
At [E]last your strength's ret[B]urned
You talk to me of the [G#m]life you spent
[F#]And of the life you've earned
[B]You'll waste no time on vengenance
You've no [E]wish to fight [B]again
To find peace you say [G#m]In God we trust
Put [F#]little faith in man
[E]No, Heaven aint ready for you [B]yet, Jesse
[E]I'll give you my heart I'll take a[B] bet Jesse
[E]Now Ive seen your face now that we've [F#]met
We shall not slip [B]away [E] [B]
