Notes: Strumming is just a solid downstroke pattern. Notes in parentheses may be played
For the most part, though, Brett leaves them out
(as I do in the video).
With Am, half the time Brett plays it as a standard barre chord and the other half he
it as I do.
I prefer using the thumb for the bass notes (reminiscent of John Mayer's style). During
F chord in the chorus Brett adds a little hammer-on with the pinky on the 4th string,
fret.

"Heaven" by Brett Dennen

Verse 1

[F]Beyond the rules of rel[A#]igion
[Dm]the cloth of conv[Am]iction
[A#]above all the compe[F]tit[Dm]ion
[Gm]where fact and fiction [C]meet
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brett_dennen/heaven_crd_ver_3.html )
There's no [F]color lines, casts or [A#]classes
[Dm]there's no fooling the [Am]masses
[A#]whatever faith you [F]pract[Dm]ice
[Gm]whatever you [C]believe

Chorus:

Oh, [Dm]Heaven, Hea[A#]ven[C][Dm]
[Dm]What the hell is [A#]heav[C]en?[Dm]
[A#]Is there a [C]home for the [F]homeless
[A#]Is there [C]hope for the [F]hopeless

Verse 2

[F]Throw away your miscon[A#]ceptions
[Dm]there's no walls around [Am]heaven
[A#]there's no codes you gotta [F]know to [Dm]get in
no [Gm]minutemen or border [C]patrol

[F]You must lose your earthly poss[A#]essions
[Dm]leave behind your [Am]weapons
[A#]you can't buy your sa[F]lva[Dm]tion
and there [Gm]is no pot of [C]gold

-Chorus-

Bridge:

[Am]Heaven ain't got no [Dm]prisons
[Gm]no government, no [Dm]business
[Am]no banks or poli[Dm]ticians
[A#]no armies and no po[Am]lic[Gm]e

Verse 3

[F]Castles and cathedrals c[A#]rumble
[Dm]pyramids and pipelines tu[Am]mble
the [A#]failure keeps you [F]humb[Dm]le
and [Gm]leads us closer to [C]peace

-Chorus-
