Doors Of Heaven(Chords)

	        

 

G                               Am     D 
If all the doors were closed in heaven 
                           G 
Where would all the angels go? 
                              Am   D 
Would they just fly around forever 
                               G 
Or would they come down here below? 

C                                    G 
If the pearly gates were closed this morning 
B7                           Em    Em D C 
Would there be angels here tonight? 
               D                 G       Am 
And would they live their lives among us 
              D                   G     C D G 
And share the darkness with their light? 

G                              Am     D 
If all the doors were close in heaven 
                                 G 
They'd have to close the road to hell 
                                 Am    D 
We'd all be stuck here with each other 
                               G 
There would be nowhere else to dwell 

C                                    G 
If the pearly gates were closed this morning 
B7                        Em    Em D C 
And everyone there had to leave 
              D             G      Am 
And death was nothing but a moment 
           D                   G       C D G 
Beyond the breaths you took to breathe 

G                               Am     D 
If all the doors were closed in heaven 
                       G 
Who would dare abuse a child 
                       Am     D 
Or let a little kid go hungry 
                       G 
Or not return a simple smile 

C                                    G 
If the pearly gates were closed this morning 
B7                                Em    Em D C 
And the host of heaven was on the street 
         D                   G         Am 
I wonder if they'd look much different 
         D                G   C D G 
From the likes of you and me 

G                                 Am     D 
So I hope they close the doors to heaven 
                       G 
And all the angels up above 
                       Am      D 
Come and build a home among us 
                        G     
Remind us what it is to love 

C                                    G 
If the pearly gates were closed this morning 
B7                           Em    Em D C 
Would there be angels here tonight? 
               D                 G       Am 
And would they live their lives among us 
              D                   G     C D G 
And share the darkness with their light?
