Johnny Cash - You're the Nearest Thing to Heaven: chords

        D#
I have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
  A#                                      D#
I held my breath and watched the western sunsets 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
                                        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

I confess that I've been tempted by a luring magic charms
When the smile was flashed my way and stood before two open arms
But I turned and walked away because I love you like I do
You're the nearest thing to heaven darling you

Chorus

I have watched the silver raindrops fall to earth to cool the day
Watched the rainbow at twilight when the clouds had blown away
I love the pretty flowers but they cannot buy the worth
But you're the nearest thing to heaven on this earth

Chorus
