Intro: (A)//// //// //// ////
D
I read a book a- -bout a man
E A
Who never went to school
D
He could tell you more things about life
E A
Than any man ever knew
D
He didn?t study to be a carpenter
E A
But things he could build
D
Would stand the storms life could bring
E A
No matter how small or big
[Chorus]
D A
And he built a new high- -way to Heaven
E
And few there?ll be me that travel there- -on
A D A
He put me on a new high- -way to Heaven
E A
There?s no detour sign, you don?t have to travel a- -lone
A D
He didn?t study to be a scientist
E A
Or have a doctor?s de- -gree
D
He knew more than any surgeon
E A
Of this world could ever teach
D
He can remove a stony heart
E A
Put a new one in its place
D
Jesus does this from inside out
E A
Leaves no scars, no other trace
[Chorus]
D A
And he built a new high- -way to Heaven
E
And few there?ll be me that travel there- -on
A D A
He put me on a new high- -way to Heaven
E A
There?s no detour sign, you don?t have to travel a- -lone
A D A
He put me on a new high- -way to Heaven
E
And few there?ll be me that travel there- -on
A D A
He put me on a new high- -way to Heaven
E A
There?s no detour sign, you don?t have to travel a- -lone

He put me on a new high- -way to Heaven
