Ab           
Pretty Nova, one year over 
Bb              Eb
Legal age of consent 
Ab 
In the flower of sweet youth our 
Bb                  Eb
Days of heaven were spent 


Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Ab                
Rock 'n' Roll, and freeing your soul, and 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 


Ab                                           Bb
I'm looking 'round for that sixties sound - 
               Eb
Those days are gone 
Ab                                                    Bb
And all us acid dropping, world stopping, be bopping 
                            
Freaks are just hanging on 

Ab
Little Nova, did you have to show the 
Bb                   Eb
Whole world how to rebel? 
Ab
Standing there with your long brown hair 
       Bb                          Eb
Like a cool breeze blowing through hell 


Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Ab
Back in those days we all were so crazy 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 

|Ab        |Ab         |Bb        |Eb      |
|Ab        |Ab         |Bb        |Eb      |
|Ab        |Ab         |Bb        |Eb      |
|Ab        |Ab         |Bb        |Eb      |


Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Ab
Ooooooowh 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 


Ab                                          Bb
Seems like the whole world's at a fire sale 
               Eb
But I might be wrong 
Ab                                                       Bb
With all the home shopping, Bling bling and hip hopping 

Maybe it's just going strong 


Ab         
But hey now Nova, we both know the 
Bb                           Eb
Ones who're always making it pay 
Ab 
Well any fool can sell a jewel 
       Bb                  Eb
But an angel will give it away 


Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Ab
Oooooooh I'm going go down singing 
    Bb                  Eb
And giving that heaven away 

|Ab        |Ab         |Bb        |Eb      |
|Ab        |Ab         |Bb        |Eb      |

Ab
Where did the day go in that Winnebago? 
    Bb                 Eb
The two of us hot as a stove 
Ab       
Fools for pleasure, digging for treasure 
Bb                     Eb 
Down in that Black Oak grove 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away 
Ab
Oooooooh 
Bb                  Eb
Giving that heaven away
