[INTRO: ]
(C) How (C7) far is (F) heaven, let's go to-(C) night  
I want my (G7) daddy to hold me (C) tight.  
 
(C) A little girl was waiting for her daddy one (G7) day  
It was time to meet him, when she heard her mommy (C) say  
Come to mama, darling, please do not (F) cry  
Daddy's gone to (C) heaven, (G7) way up in the (C) sky.  
 
CHORUS  
(C) How (C7) Far Is (F) Heaven, when can I (C) go  
To see my (G7) daddy, he's there, I (C) know  
How (C7) Far Is (F) Heaven, let's go to-(C) night  
I want my (G7) daddy to hold me (C) tight.  
 
He was called so suddenly and could not say goodbye  
I know that he's in heaven, we'll meet him by and by  
The little girl trembled, her tears she could not hide  
She looked up towards heaven and then she replied.  
 
CHORUS
