Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Well ol joe woke up at quarter to five

 Cause the girls need milkin lest they go dry

 He'd done it for 45 years so it was no suprise

 Til he walked outside to see his heart up in the sky

 It shined like a quarter in a babys hand

 On the fourth of july near the rio grande

 It shined like a diamond in a jar of sand

 And it made joes poor field look like it was born again

 I put my heart up in this sky

 I pushed it way up high

 I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

 I put my heart up in the sky

 And cant really tell you why

 I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

 Well he reached for his heart, liked to had a stroke

 Called for his wife who thought it was just some sort of joke

 Like when he called the preacher up cause the hens laid triple yokes

 But up in the sky was a heart that was taller than an oak

 Forty feet up and it was ten feet wide

 Was pumpin like a mad man swept up in a tide

 And when his wife she came out from the inside

 She fell to her knees and she almost died

 I put my heart up in this sky

 I pushed it way up high

 I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

 I put my heart up in the sky

 And cant really tell you why

 I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

 They had a doctor called in from town

 He showed up in a chevy with a black bag and a frown

 Said theres nothing you could do to bring that heart back down

 Cause Its a healthy heart that ol joe found

 I put my heart up in this sky

 I pushed it way up high

 I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue

 I put my heart up in the sky

 And cant really tell you why

 I just wondered what the people'd do if they seen my heart up there in the blue
