Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  have sailed the peaceful waters of the ocean deep and blue
     
 I held my breath and watched the western sunsets golden hue
I've  flown above the mountain peaks and valleys wide and green
                 
 But you're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
 (Chorus)
You're  the nearest  thing to heaven yes you are
 I have searched for happiness so long and far
But  my search for love was through the day  that I found you
 Cause you're the nearest  thing to heaven,  yes you are
 Just keep the pattern through the song and you got it!
