Tears In Heaven Lyrics
Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same, if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
‘Cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven
Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven?
I’ll find my way through night and day
‘Cause I know I just can’t stay here in heaven
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please
Beyond the door, there’s peace I’m sure
And I know there’ll be no more tears in heaven
Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same, if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven

Chords
Most people recognize Clapton’s live version of the legendary live Unplugged Album, rather than the official album version. Our version is based on the live recording.
Tears In Heaven has a genius chord progression that uses small variations and slash chords to keep the harmonic interest on top.
