[Verse]
G G7 C G G/B
My granddaddy never went to church, he felt closer to God with his hands in the dirt
C Bm Am D
Doin' hard work with the sun on his face, sweat on his brow and the wind in his hair
C D

[Chorus]

Blue sky cathe- -dral with its white pine stee- -ple
G G7/F C F7/Eb

C Bm Am D G G7/F C D
Made his soul fly like an eagle under that blue sky cathe- -dral
G G7 C G G/B

G G/F# Em D C Bm Am D
Blue sky cathe- -dral with its white pine stee- -ple
G G7/F C F7/Eb
Sunrise for a stained glass window, singin' along with that songbird hymnal
C Bm Am D G G7/F C D
Made my soul fly like an eagle under my blue sky cathe- -dral
F C/E
It's been years since he's been gone, we buried him up on the hill
Eb D
But it don't matter where I am, I feel him with me still, --- under my
[Chorus]
G G/F# Em D C Bm Am D
Blue sky ca- thedral with its white pine stee- ple
G G7/F C F7/Eb
Sunrise for a stained glass window, singin' along with that songbird hymnal
C Bm Am D G G7/F C D
Makes my soul fly like an ea -gle under my blue sky cathe- -dral
