G                           E 
He's been looking now for a long time 
G                                               E 
It seems the more he looks the less he wants to see 
G                           E 
He turned to the west for a long time 
G                                                E 
He turned to the east then he turned to the west again

If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 
C                                    D 
If there's a heaven above, let it be near 
C                                  D 
If there's a heaven above, in the meantime 
C                                     G 
Then let it be near, let it be near to me 


He saw everything real too clearly 
So close that the bones would show 
And to see everything so clearly 
Isn't always the best thing you know
