He's Gone To Search Heaven
written as a tribute to Johnny Cash on the day he went to the next world
Story behind the song
tribute to johnny cash. His music and his faith
Lyrics
D
1. He started out in Memphis
A
Played with Elvis, played with Fire
He found a living Gospel
D
It just took his music higher
D
2. Now he’s on to his reward
A
With a guitar on his back
But I am glad I came to know
G D
The Man Who Dressed in Black
CHORUS:
G D
Bye and bye, bye and bye
A D D7
He’s gone to see Jesus bye and bye,
G
He has lived and he is gone
D
But do not cry too long
A D
He’s gone to see Jesus bye and bye
D
3. It’s a great a day in heaven
A
But it’s dark in Tennessee
Do not let the rain drops
D
Hide the truth you see
D
4. He‘s out on Golden Pond
A
With June and his friends
Playing mountain music
G D
In a BAND that never ends
CHORUS
INTRUMENTAL OF VERSE
D
5. That eternal chorus
A
Now has a Boy Named Sue
I’m sure they’re glad to see him
D
But just a might scared, too
D
6. He’s gone to find a field of roses
A
See a clear blue sky
He’s gone to search heaven
G D
To look in Jesus’ eyes
CHORUS:REPEAT (Dan only)
D
That big Man in Black
A
Won’t be lookin’ back
G A D
He’s gone to sup with Jesus in the sky
