D                                                         A
I can see what you're looking to find in the smile on my face
G                A               G          D
In my peace of mind       In my state of grace
D                                            A
I send what I can to the man from the ministry
G                        A                    D
he's a part of heaven's plan and he talks to me

D                                                   A
Now I send what I can to the man with the diamond ring
G                        A     G                 D
he's a part of heaven's plan    and he sure can sing
D                                                         A
now it's all I can afford but the lord has sent me eternity
G                          A                     D
it's to save the little children in a poor country

D                                           A
I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
G                     A     G         D
I got a ride all the way     to paradise
D                                           A
I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
G          A           D
all the  way to paradise

D
Now there's nothing left for luxuries nothing left to pay my
          A
heating bills
G                           A    G           D
but the good lord will provide    I know he will
D                                                  A
so send what you can to the man with the diamond ring
G                              A                D
they're tuning in across the land to hear him sing
D                                           A
I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
G                   A    G         D
got a ride all the way    to paradise
D                                           A
I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
G         A           D       Bm
All the way to paradise
