If Heaven Had a Weekend Chords

CAPO: 3rd FRET
KEY: Bb
 
INTRO:
G
 
VERSE:
      G
We'd all get to fish with our grandpas
C                             G
Even though God's called him home
 G
Eat Sunday supper with grandma
 D
Even long after she's gone
 
      Em
That once in a lifetimer bird dog
   C                       G
It wouldn't be so hard to lose
    D
If once every week they could just spread their wings
    C
And come back for a day or two
 
 
CHORUS:
     Em
And there would be tears
    Em
But not near as many
    C
And there'd still be time
   C
To make us some memories
     G
And sayin' goodbye
          G                      D
Wouldn't feel so much like they were leavin'
   C         D         G
If heaaa-ea-ven had a weekend
 
 
VERSE:
      G
That clock on the wall wouldn't scare me
       C                          G
Growin' old wouldn't be quite as bad
    G
We wouldn't be countin' the moments
             D
Until we're losin' our moms and our dads
 
         Em
And the friends that the Good Lord takes way too soon
         C                    G
Wouldn't just be a name on a stone
     D
And I'd have an ice-cold beer waitin'
        C
For the ones that didn't make it back home, yeah
 
 
CHORUS:
     Em
And there would be tears
    Em
But not near as many
    C
And there'd still be time
   C
To make us some memories
     G
And sayin' goodbye
          G                      D
Wouldn't feel so much like they were leavin'
   C         D         Em
If heaaa-ea-ven had a weekend
 
 
BREAK:
   Em               D
A couple day getaway
                                            C
To come back and see all the ones that they left behind
C
Here on the other side
 
 
CHORUS:
     Em
And there would be tears
    Em
But not near as many
    C
And there'd still be time
   C
To make us some memories
     G
And sayin' goodbye
          G                      D
Wouldn't feel so much like they were leavin' yeah ah
 
 
POST-CHORUS:
       Em
There wouldn't be years that we take for granted
C
Wishin' like hell for just one more minute
    G                                           D
To look in your eyes, Lord, just besides when we're sleepin'
 
   C         D        Em
If heaaa-ea-ven had a weekend
   C         D                G
If heaaa-ea-ven had a weekend
