Chords

#24 in 1958 (I found this song done in D# as well as D.) #1.
       D
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue.

  A                                      D
I held my breath and watched the western sunset's golden hue.

     D
I've flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green

               A                                 D
but you're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen.
CHORUS:
           G                                 D
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

       A                                  D
I have searched for happiness so long and far.

       D                                G
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you.

                 D                A                D
Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
#2.
     D
I confess that I've been tempted by alluring magic charms

       A                                    D
when a smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms.

      D
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do,

           A                                 D
you're the nearest thing to Heaven, darlin', you.
CHORUS:
           G                                 D
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

       A                                  D
I have searched for happiness so long and far.

       D                                G
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you.

                 D                A                D
Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
#3.
       D
I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day.

            A                            D
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away.

  D
I love the pretty flowers, money cannot buy their worth

                 A                               D
cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven on this Earth.
CHORUS:
           G                                 D
You're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.

       A                                  D
I have searched for happiness so long and far.

       D                                G
But my search for love was through, the day that I found you.

                 D                A                D
Cause you're the nearest thing to Heaven, yes, you are.
