rate me

Capo 3rd Fret

Intro: (A)//// //// //// ////

I read a book a-(D)-bout a man

Who (E) never went to (A) school

He could tell you more (D) things about life

Than (E) any man ever (A) knew

He didn’t study to be a (D) carpenter

But (E) things he could (A) build

Would stand the storms (D) life could bring

No (E) matter how small or (A) big

Chorus:

And he built a new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven

And few there’ll be me that travel there-(E)-on

He put me on a (A) new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven

There’s no detour sign, you (E) don’t have to travel a-(A)-lone

Instrumental (on recording-mandolin): Follow pattern of any verse

(A) He didn’t study to be a (D) scientist

Or (E) have a doctor’s de-(A)-gree

He knew more than any (D) surgeon

Of this (E) world could ever (A) teach

He can remove a (D) stony heart

Put a (E) new one in its (A) place

Jesus does this from (D) inside out

Leaves no (E) scars, no other (A) trace

Repeat Chorus

Instrumental (on recording-guitar): Follow pattern of any verse

He put me on a (A) new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven

And few there’ll be me that travel there-(E)-on

He put me on a (A) new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven

There’s no detour sign, you (E) don’t have to travel a-(A)-lone

He put me on a new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven
