Sweet Heaven In My View

Tom: D

          D
Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujah,
       G                             D                D
on my journey I press on, praise the Lord
        G                   D
For I'm bound for that holy city,
           A            D
got sweet heaven in my view.



       D
Oh, my mother, she died and left me,
     G                        D
I'm alone in this world, I'm alone,
       G                D
and my father, he won't own me,
       A               D
got to find me another home

           D
Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujah,
       G                             D                D
on my journey I press on, praise the Lord
        G                   D
For I'm bound for that holy city,
           A            D
got sweet heaven in my view.

    D
And when I get to heaven,
       G            D
take a seat and sit right down,
        G                 D
looking up to my heavenly father,
        A                D
looking for a robe and a crown.


          D
Got sweet heaven in my view, hallelujah,
       G                             D                D
on my journey I press on, praise the Lord
        G                   D
For I'm bound for that holy city,
           A            D
got sweet heaven in my view.
