Jacob's Ladder Mark Wills
"Intro - G C G D (x2)
[G]Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
[G]Raised at the fork in the road in a clapboard[C] house
And [C]Rachel was a land baron's daughter
[C]Born with a silver spoon in her mouth[G]
Her [G]daddy said he wouldn't stand
For [G]Rachael to waste her life with a comm[C]on man
[Am]He tried hard to keep them apart
But you [C]can't draw lines in a young girl's[D] heart
So l[C]ate one night by the harvest moon
[C]Jacob climed a ladder up to Rachel's room
He [G]knew his place, it was right beside h[G]er
[C]Step by step up to her world
[C]Head over heels for that brown-eyed girl
And [G]gettin' caught didn't seem to ma[G]tter
'Cause [C]heaven was waitin' at the [D]top of Jacob's ladder
Repeat Intro
[A]It'll be five years September
Since her [A]daddy found a ladder and a note on her window[D] sill
He [D]swore he'd never forgive them
But [D]nothin' melts a heart like a grandchild[A] will
Now she [A]climbs up on his knee
Says, "[A]Grandpa, tell a story, tell the one about[D] me"
[Bm]He thinks back and his eyes shine
Says, "[D]Listen Child, once upon a time[E]"
[D]Late one night by the harvest moon
Your [D]Daddy climed a ladder up to your Momma's room
He [A]knew his place, it was right beside h[A]er
[D]Step by step up to her world
[D]Head over heels for a brown-eyed girl
But [A]you're here now and that's all that ma[A]tters
D E (Play E, but walk down bass note E D C# B)
'Cause heaven was waitin' at the top of Jacob's ladder
Oh, an [Bm]angel was waitin' at the t[A]op of Jacob's ladder
Intro
End on D
