[D] [A] Give me a ride to heaven, boy, [E] my name is [A] Jesus Christ.
So I come screeching to a [D] halt, I said, [A] hop on in.
He said, thanks a lot for the lift, [E] I forgive you of your sins.
[A] Hell, I just come from Jerusalem [D] where things are [A] going [E] bad.
Oh, give me [A] a ride to heaven, [E] boy, I need to talk to my dad.
Yeah, give me a ride to heaven, [D] boy, I'll show you [A] paradise.
Give me a ride to heaven, boy, [E] my name is [A] Jesus Christ.
Well, I didn't know what to do, so I [D] jammed her [A] down in gear.
Kind of kicking my feet beneath the seat, [E] I was trying to hide the beer.
[A] Oh, but he just grinned and said, my [D] friend, I know you must think [A] it's odd.
You got nothing to fear about drinking a [E] beer if you share it with the [A] Son of God.
Yeah, give me a ride to heaven, boy, [D] I'll show [A] you paradise.
Give me a ride to heaven, [E] boy, my name is [A] Jesus Christ.

[A] Well, I saw good news and his bed was blue, [D] so I stomped it [A] on the floor.
Said, you have to show me how to [E] get there, I ain't been before.
[A] It's a hard place to find, he said, but [D] I'll give you [A] a little clue.
It ain't somewhere up in the air, sitting right here inside with you.
And right in the middle of that perfect smile [D] from his robes, [A] he pulled a gun, stuck it up the side of my head.
[E] Said, how's this for kingdom come?
[A] Well, I pulled off scared, but I heard him say [D] as he left me beneath [A] the stars.
Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways and [E] tonight, my son, he gonna use your car.
Yeah, give me a ride to heaven, boy, [D] I'll show you [A] paradise.
Give me a ride to [E] heaven, boy, my name is Jesus [A] Christ.
Yeah, give me a ride to heaven, [D] boy, I'll show you [A] paradise.
Give me a ride to heaven, boy, [E] my name is Jesus Christ.
