Well ol joe woke up at quarter to five
AmFC
Cause the girls need milkin lest they go dry
AmFC
He'd done it for 45 years so it was no suprise
AmGC
Til he walked outside to see his heart up in the sky
AmFC
It shined like a quarter in a babys hand
AmFC
On the fourth of july near the rio grande
AmFC
It shined like a diamond in a jar of sand
AmGC
And it made joes poor field look like it was born again
FGC
I put my heart up in this sky
FGC
I pushed it way up high
FGAmFCGC
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
FGC
I put my heart up in the sky
FGC
And cant really tell you why
FGAmFCGC
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
AmFC
Well he reached for his heart, liked to had a stroke
AmFC
Called for his wife who thought it was just some sort of joke
AmFC
Like when he called the preacher up cause the hens laid triple yokes
AmGC
But up in the sky was a heart that was taller than an oak
AmFC
Forty feet up and it was ten feet wide
AmFC
Was pumpin like a mad man swept up in a tide
AmFC
And when his wife she came out from the inside
AmGC
She fell to her knees and she almost died
FGC
I put my heart up in this sky
FGC
I pushed it way up high
FGAmFCGC
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
FGC
I put my heart up in the sky
FGC
And cant really tell you why
FGAmFCGC
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
GF
They had a doctor called in from town
CG
He showed up in a chevy with a black bag and a frown
GF
Said theres nothing you could do to bring that heart back down
AmG
Cause Its a healthy heart that ol joe found
FGC
I put my heart up in this sky
FGC
I pushed it way up high
FGAmFCGC
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
FGC
I put my heart up in the sky
FGC
And cant really tell you why
FGAmFCGC
I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
