Hank Locklin - Its A Little More Like Heaven

      It's a Little More Like Heaven

G
I have sailed the peaceful water salty ocean deep and blue
         D7                                      G
Felt the rapture of the dawning thrilled through sunset's golden view
 
I've sought above the mountain peeks for valleys great and wide
           D7                              G
But it's a little more like heaven by your side
 
       C                                 G
It's a little more like heaven where you are
       D7                                 G
I have sought for happiness both near and far
                                       C
But my search for love was through the day that I met you
             G                D7               G
Cause it's a little more like heaven where you are
 
 
I have watched the crystal raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
            D7                           G
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds have flown away
 
I've adored the clinging roses round my mountain home so dear
           D7                                  G
But it's a little more like heaven when you're near
 
 
I've been tempted for a moment by your lure and magic charms
     D7                            G
Of a fickle flame and beauty while waltzin' in her arms
 
I cherished mem'ries of the past of friends so kind and true
           D7                                G
But it's a little more like heaven here with you
