Capo 1st Fret
I've been tel[G]ling my [Cadd9]dreams to the sc[G]arecrow[Cadd9]
About the pl[F]aces that[Cadd9] I'd like to s[F]ee[Bb]
I say "F[Cadd9]riend do you th[D]ink I'll ever [Em]get there?"
Aw, bu[Cadd9]t he just stands there sm[D]iling back at m[G]e
So I confess [G]my sins [Cadd9]to the preacher[G][Cadd9]
About the lo[F]ve I've b[Cadd9]een praying to[F] find[Bb]
Is there[Cadd9] a brown eyed b[D]oy in my futur[Em]e
And he[Cadd9] says, "Girl, you've got [D]nothing but tim[G]e"
CHORUS:
But h[D]ow do you wait for [Cadd9]heaven[G]
And who [D]has that much[Cadd9] time[G]
And h[Am]ow [G/B]do you [Cadd9]keep yo[D]ur f[Em7]eet [D/F#]on the gr[G]ound
When you [Cadd9]know that you were b[D]orn[Dsus4] [D5] , you were born to fly

[G]My daddy is g[Cadd9]rounded like the[G] oak tr[Cadd9]ee
[F]My momma she [Cadd9]is steady as t[F]he su[Bb]n
Oh, you know I love my folks,[Cadd9] but I keep starin[D]g down the roa[Em]d
Just l[Cadd9]ooking for my one chance [D]to run[G]
[G]Yeah, 'cause [Cadd9]I will soar away[G] like t[Cadd9]he blackbird
I will blow i[Cadd9]n the wind lik[F]e a s[Bb]eed
I will plant my hear[Cadd9]t in the garden of [D]my dreams[Em]
And I [Cadd9]will grow up where I'll w[D]ander wild and [G]free
CHORUS:
But h[D]ow do you wait for [Cadd9]heaven[G]
And who [D]has that much[Cadd9] time[G]
And h[Am]ow [G/B]do you [Cadd9]keep yo[D]ur f[Em7]eet [D/F#]on the gr[G]ound
