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

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