Up Here In Heaven

View chords used in this chart
Intro: C
 
Up on the hill, I see it begin
F
Marking the heroes where they fall
 
In the stone
C
In the stone, the names of those who have gone
 
And over the river, there is a place
F
Where they remember boys and men
 
Widows talk
C
Widows talk of all that they could have been
 
Pre-Chorus
 
We can hear you
Bb F C
We can hear you whisper our names
 
We can see you
Bb F C
We can see you reading our names
 
Chorus:
F C
Up here in heaven, we stand together
G C
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time
F C
Up here in heaven, we are forever
G C
There is only one god up here, for all of the world
 
What of the children caught in the war?
F
How can we tell them what it's for?
 
When they cry
C
When they cry, are voices heard anymore?
 
Pre-Chorus
 
Are you listening
Bb F C
Are you listening, men of the war?
 
There is nothing
Bb F C
There is nothing worth dying for
 
Chorus:
F C
Up here in heaven, we stand together
G C
Both the enemy and the friend, 'till the end of time
F C
Up here in heaven, we are forever
G C
There is only one god up here, for all of the world
F C
La la la laa, la la la la la
F C
La la la laa, ooh ooh ooh ooh
F C
La la la laa, la la la la la
G C
There is only one god up here, the god of the world
