       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

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

Chorus:
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

Now there's nothing left for luxuries
Nothing left to pay my heating bill
But the good lord will provide
I know he will
So send what you can
To the man with the diamond ring
They're tuning in across the land
To hear him sing

Chorus

All the way to paradise
