Jackie Greene - Emilys in heaven

I was ^Chalf asleep when I ^Dmheard the news, ^Fsad words on the ^Cphone I just could^G/Bn't be^Amlieve my ^Gears, I ^Fcouldn't believe she's ^Ggone I ^Ftried to make some ^Gsense of it, but ^Csense I could not ^Fmake How a ^Dmgirl like her could ^Amgo like that, it ^Fmust be some mis^Ctake

I ^Cknow her since for^Dmever, as ^Ffar back as I ^Cgo She always ^G/Bhad an ^Amanswer ^Gfor the ^Fthings I didn't ^Gknow She ^Fnever hurt ^Ganybody, ^Cnever did them ^Fwrong She ^Dmwalked to the ^Amtune of life teaching ^Feveryone the ^Csong

Now ^FEmily's in ^CHeaven, but ^GI'm awake in ^Cbed ^FSometimes ^CI wish, the ^GGood Lord took me instead But I ^Fguess the good di^Ce young and ^Glife just isn't ^Amfair But ^FEmily's in ^CHeaven she'll be ^Gwaiting for me ^Amthere

E^Cleven different ^Dmdoctors, but ^Fnot one had a ^Cclue They rushed her ^G/Bthrough e^Ammergen^Gcy but there was ^Fnothing they could ^Gdo They ^Fsaid she had a ^Gweak heart, she'd ^Calways been that ^Fway I ^Dmsaid she just ^Amgave too ^Fmuch of it a^Cway

Now ^FEmily's in ^CHeaven and ^GI'm awake in ^Cbed ^FSometimes ^CI wish, the ^GGood Lord took me instead But I ^Fguess the good di^Ce young and ^Glife just isn't ^Amfair Ah, but ^FEmily's in ^CHeaven she'll be ^Gwaiting for me ^Amthere

We ^Claid her down for ^Dmpeaceful sleep, ^Ftime was standing ^Cstill Every^G/Bbody ^Amsaid a ^Gprayer on ^Ftop of moonlight ^Ghill I ^Fsaid goodbye ^Gwith a rose, ^Chow she loved the^Fm so Then I ^Dmturned away, tried ^Amnot to cry and ^Fdid my best to ^Cgo

Now ^FEmily's in ^CHeaven, but ^GI'm awake in ^Cbed ^FSometimes ^CI wish, the ^GGood Lord took me instead But I ^Fguess the good di^Ce young and ^Glife just isn't ^Amfair Ah, but ^FEmily's in ^CHeaven she'll be ^Gwaiting for me ^Amthere
