[A]
Well I was all caught up with myself [D] on the highway [A] at night
Driving like a bat out of [E] hell when I beheld an amazing sight
a lonely apparition by the [D] roadside standing there
a man in the wilderness [E] and a halo in [A] his hair
Said give me a ride to heaven [D] for I'll show you [A] paradise
Give me a ride to heaven for [E] my name is Jesus [A] Christ
Well I come screeching to a [D] halt I said hop [A] on in
Well I was all caught up with myself [D] on the highway [A] at night
Driving like a bat out of [E] hell when I beheld an amazing sight
a lonely apparition by the [D] roadside standing there
a man in the wilderness [E] and a halo in [A] his hair
Said give me a ride to heaven [D] for I'll show you [A] paradise
Give me a ride to heaven for [E] my name is Jesus [A] Christ
Well I come screeching to a [D] halt I said hop [A] on in

Well I was all caught up with myself [D] on the highway [A] at night _
Driving like a bat out of [E] hell when I beheld an amazing sight
[A] Was a lonely apparition by the [D] roadside standing there
With a man in the wilderness [E] and a halo in [A] his hair _
Said give me a ride to heaven [D] for I'll show you [A] paradise
Give me a ride to heaven for [E] my name is Jesus [A] Christ
Well I come screeching to a [D] halt I said hop [A] on in
He said thanks a lot for the lift I [E] forgive you of your sins
[A] Well I just come from Jerusalem [D] where things are [A] going bad
Now give me a ride to heaven [E] for I need to talk [A] to my dad
He said give me a ride to heaven [D] for I'll show you [A] paradise
Give me a ride to heaven [E] for my name [A] is Jesus Christ _
Well I didn't know what to do so [D] I jammed her down in gear
[A] Kind of kicked my feet beneath the [E] seat I was trying to hide the bed
[A] But he just grinned and said my friend I [D] know you [A] must think it's odd
You've got nothing to fear but I'll trade you the beer [E] if you share with the son [A] of God
Well give me a ride to heaven for [D] I'll show you [A] paradise
Give me a ride to heaven [E] for my name is [A] Jesus Christ _

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