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
