G                           E 
He's been looking now for a long time 
G                                               E 
It seems the more he looks the less he wants to see 
G                           E 
He turned to the west for a long time 
G                                                E 
He turned to the east then he turned to the west again

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 
C                                    D 
If there's a heaven above, let it be near 
C                                  D 
If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 
C                                     G 
Then let it be near, let it be near to me
