Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Well ol joe woke up at quarter to five

Cause the girls need milkin lest they go dry

He'd done it for 45 years so it was no suprise

Til he walked outside to see his heart up in the sky

It shined like a quarter in a babys hand

On the fourth of july near the rio grande

It shined like a diamond in a jar of sand

And it made joes poor field look like it was born again

I put my heart up in this sky

I pushed it way up high

I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

I put my heart up in the sky

And cant really tell you why

I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

Well he reached for his heart, liked to had a stroke

Called for his wife who thought it was just some sort of joke

Like when he called the preacher up cause the hens laid triple yokes

But up in the sky was a heart that was taller than an oak

Forty feet up and it was ten feet wide

Was pumpin like a mad man swept up in a tide

And when his wife she came out from the inside

She fell to her knees and she almost died

I put my heart up in this sky

I pushed it way up high

I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

I put my heart up in the sky

And cant really tell you why

I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

They had a doctor called in from town

He showed up in a chevy with a black bag and a frown

Said theres nothing you could do to bring that heart back down

Cause Its a healthy heart that ol joe found

I put my heart up in this sky

I pushed it way up high

I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

I put my heart up in the sky

And cant really tell you why

I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
