6. Heaven

This was Bryan Adam's very first #1 song and came out as a single nearly 18 months after it was recorded for the 1983 "Reckless" album. 

Drummer Mickey Curry would have normally played on the track but on the day of recording he had other studio commitments with Hall & Oates. Because the session was in New York, Adams called Journey drummer Steve Smith who filled in on the track.

Adams got the inspiration from the song Faithfully by Jounrey. He's been their opening act in 1983 so that song eventually inspired this one. Download the Heaven Bryan chords and lyrics below.

  • Drop D Tuning: No
  • Capo: 2nd fret but no capo in original key
  • Rhythm: down down down down up and repeat
  • Picking: Yes
  • Chords: C, Am, G, F, Gsus, A#, Dm, A#/A, Em, B
