Heaven Knows Lyrics And Guitar Chords

Charlie Landsborough - Heaven Knows Lyrics And Guitar Chords. Charlie plays this song in the keyof Bb. I changed the chords to the key of G to make the song easy to play on guitar. The original version is also included. Charlie also sang an old Irish song The Isle Of Innisfree Song which was covered by one of my favorite ballad groups The Dublin City Ramblers.
Intro chords C G D G C G D G
[G]If people dressed in colours
[C]According to their deeds
[G]Then many leading men
Would dress in [D]black
[G]And lots of unsung heroes
Who [C]never made a name
Would be [G]walking round
With [D]gold upon their [G]backs

Chorus
Heaven [C]knows
You're a ro[G]se
And the love inside your heart
Just grows and [D]grows
[G]No one [C]sees
I sup[G]pose
That it's something only[D] me
And heaven [G]knows

If [G]people were like flowers
[C]Imagine what you'd see
[G]Thorns in highest places
Where the [D]roses ought to be
And [G]down along the hedgerows
[C]Among the grasses tall
You would [G]find the sweetest
[D]Roses of them [G]all


If[D] people were like [G]music
[C]Some hearts would never sing
[G]Think of all the happiness
A [D]song like yours could bring
[G]You fill the life I'm living
With [C]love and harmony
And [G]you're the sweetest [D]song
I'll ever [G]see
Here are the chords in the original key
of Bb that Charlie plays.

[Bb]If people dressed in colours
[Eb]According to their deeds
[Bb]many leading men
Would dress in [F]black
[Bb]And lots of unsung heroes
Who [Eb]never made a name
Would be [Bb]walking round
With [F]gold upon their [Bb]backs

Chorus
Heaven [Eb]knows
You're a ro[Bb]se
And the love inside your heart
Just grows and [F]grows
[Bb]No one [Eb]sees
I sup[Bb]pose
That it's something only[F] me
And heaven [Bb]knows
