[D] Hello [G] everybody out there in cyberspace and all of our friends here in [C] the studio with us!

[D] [G] Jacob was a dirt poor farm boy
Raised at the fork in the road in a [C] clapboard house
Rachel was a land baron's daughter
Born with a silver spoon in her [G]
mouth
Her daddy said he would stand
Rachel would waste her life with a [C] common man
[Am] He tried hard to keep them apart
[C] But you can't draw lines in a young [D] girl's heart
[C] So late one night by the hard moon
Jacob climbed the ladder to Rachel's room
[G] He knew his place, it was right beside her
[C] Step by step up to her world
And over hills for a brown eyed girl
[G]
It's called Vincent's Ladder
[Am] Cause heaven was a-waitin' [D] at the top of [G] Jacob's ladder
[C]
[D] [G]
[C]
[A] It'll be five years to September
So daddy found a ladder and a note on her [D]
windowsill
So he'd never forgive them
Nothing melts a heart like a [A] grandchild will
As he climbs upon his knee
Says grandpa tell a story, the one [D] about me
[Bm] He thinks back and his eyes shine
[D] Says this little child wants a [E]
ponytail
[D] Late one night by the hard moon
Daddy climbed the ladder to your mama's room
[A] He knew his place, it was right beside her
[D] And step by step up to her world
And over hills for my little girl
[A] Here you are, that's all that matters
[Bm] Cause heaven was a [E]-waitin' at the top of [A] Jacob's ladder
[E] [F#m] Well [Bm] when an angel was [E] waitin' at the top of [A] Jacob's ladder
