Verse 1
D                 A          D 
I grew up watchin hero’s in TV 
    G       A          D 
But I had a hero of my own 
                    A                D 
He taught me how to play this old guitar 
   G                A             D 
He Taught me how to reach for the stars 
 
Verse 2
      G              A      Gbm          G 
So, I moved to Tennessee to chase all my dreams 
   Em                                 A 
An every night he’d call and check on me, 
     D              A                 D 
Then late one night heaven called his name, 
      G                     A         D 
And I got the news when the telephone rang, 
    G            A              Gbm              G 
The voice on the other end said son your daddy’s gone 
     Em                             A 
With tears in my eyes, I thought if heaven had a telephone 
 
Chorus
   G           A         D 
If heaven only had a telephone. 
          G       A       D 
Well, I’d give my daddy a call, 
        Bm          G          A            D 
And I’d say all the things I’d never got to say, 
        Gbm                          G 
And I’d let him know his baby boy is gonna be ok, 
        D                       A 
And I’d tell him I miss my superman, 
            C                                  A 
It wouldn’t mean it’s hard to accept him being gone, 
   Em          A         D 
If heaven only had a telephone

I play a different bar all most every night 
        G              A                 D 
Singing other people’s songs and some of mine 
         G               A 
When I’m up there on the stage 
      Gbm               G 
I get lost in yesterday, 
    Em                               A 
Reminiscin’ when he taught me how to play 
 
Verse 4

Just last night I was down on all my knees, 
       G           A              D        G               A 
When a voice in my heart spoke to me, said son you’re not alone, 
     Gbm      G         Em                                         A 
I’ll never be gone just get to your knees when you need to talk to me, 
 
Chorus

No, heaven really has a telephone, 
          G        A            D 
And every night my daddy gets a call 
        Bm          G         A            D 
And I’d say all the things I  never got to say 
        Gbm                          G 
And I’d let him know his baby boy Is gonna be ok 
        D                       A 
And I’d tell him I miss my superman 
       C                             A 
And he lets me know he will never be gone 
         G                           A 
When I’m on my knees I know he’s not gone 
      Em            A         D     G  A  D 
Cause heaven really has a telephone
