[C(add9)] [C] [Cmaj7] [C]
[Asus] [Am] [A(add9)] [Am] [F]
[C(add9)]One day [C]shinin' [Cmaj7]eight years [C]old
when [C(add9)]grandma [C]passed [Cmaj7]away[C]
I was a [Asus]broken [Am]hearted [A(add9)]little [Am]boy
blowin' [F][G]out that birthday cake
[C(add9)]How I [C]cried when the [Cmaj7]sky let [C]go
with the [Asus]cold [Am]and lonesome [A(add9)]rain[Am]
[F]momma[Gsus] smiled said, don't [A(add9)]be sad [Am]child
[F]grandma's watchin' you today
[F]'Cause [G]there's [F]holes in the [G]floor of [C]heaven
-> G C
and the tears are pouring down
that's [F]how you [G]know she's [C]watchin'
wishin' she could [Gsus]be here now[G]
And [F]sometimes [G]if you're [C]lonely
just [F]remember [G]she can [Am]see[G]
there's [F]holes in the [G]floor of [C]heaven
and [F]she's watchin' over you and [C(add9)][C]me[C][Cmaj7]
[C(add9)]Seasons [C]come and [Cmaj7]seasons [C]go
[C(add9)]nothin' [C]stays the [Cmaj7]same[C]
[Asus]I grew [Am]up, [A(add9)]fell in [Am]love
met a [F]girl [G]who took my name
[C(add9)]Year by [C]year we [Cmaj7]made a [C]life
in this [Asus]sleepy [Am]little [A(add9)]town[Am]
[F]I [Gsus]thought [A(add9)]we'd grow [Am]old together
Lord I [Am][F]sure do miss her now
But [G]there's [F]holes in the [G]floor of [C]heaven
and the [G]tears are pouring [C]down
that's [F]how I [G]know she's [C]watchin'
[Gsus]wishin' she [G]could be here now
and [F]sometimes [G]when I'm [C]lonely
I [F]remember [G]she can [Am]see[G]
[F]there's holes in[G] the [C]floor of heaven
and she's[F] watchin' over you and [C(add9)][C]me[C][Cmaj7]

Well [C(add9)]my little [C]girl is[Cmaj7] twenty-three[C]

to [F][G]see her lovely smile
They [C(add9)]throw the [C]rice, I [Cmaj]catch her [C]eye
