            Am     F              C
Well ol joe woke up at quarter to five
                    Am     F             C
Cause the girls need milkin lest they go dry
                 Am         F          C
He'd done it for 45 years so it was no suprise
                Am               G               C
Til he walked outside to see his heart up in the sky
                 Am     F           C   
It shined like a quarter in a babys hand
                 Am  F             C   
On the fourth of july near the rio grande
                Am      F            C
It shined like a diamond in a jar of sand
                 Am                  G            C
And it made joes poor field look like it was born again
         
         F        G       C
I put my heart up in this sky
  F         G      C
I pushed it way up high
       F        G        Am       F          C                G            C
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
         F        G      C
I put my heart up in the sky
         F      G        C
And cant really tell you why
       F        G        Am       F          C                G            C   
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
                       
                       Am     F               C
Well he reached for his heart, liked to had a stroke
               Am                      F                 C
Called for his wife who thought it was just some sort of joke
                        Am                    F                C
Like when he called the preacher up cause the hens laid triple yokes
              Am                       G              C
But up in the sky was a heart that was taller than an oak
          Am F                    C
Forty feet up and it was ten feet wide
                  Am      F             C
Was pumpin like a mad man swept up in a tide
             Am                F        C
And when his wife she came out from the inside
                Am   G               C
She fell to her knees and she almost died

         F        G       C
I put my heart up in this sky
  F         G      C
I pushed it way up high
       F        G        Am       F          C                G            C

            G                       F
