Gimme A Ride To Heaven chords by Terry Allen

INTRO: F  Bb C (2X)

F                                      Bb               F
I WAS ALL CAUGHT UP WITH MYSELF ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT
F                                         C
DRIVIN LIKE A BAT OUTTA HELL WHEN I BEHLED AN AMAZING SIGHT
F                              Bb                 F
WAS A LONELY APPARITION BY THE ROADSIDE STANDING THERE
F                                        C           F
WITH A THUMB OUT IN THE WILDERNESS AND A HALO IN HIS HAIR

Chorus
F
GIMME A RIDE TO HEAVEN BOY,
                   Bb                        F
AND I'LL SHOW YOU PARADISE
F

GIMME A RIDE TO HEAVEN BOY
       C                           F
MY NAME IS JESUS CHRIST

WELL, I CAME SCREECHING TO A HALT AND I SAID HOP ON IN
HE SAID THANKS FOR THE LIFT I FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS
I'VE JUST COME FROM JERUSALEM WHERE THINGS ARE GOING BAD
AH, GIMME A RIDE TO HEAVEN BOY, I NEED TO TALK TO MY DAD

CHORUS

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO, SO I JAMMED 'ER DOWN IN GEAR
STARTED KICKING MY FEET BENEATH THE SEAT, I WAS TRYIN TO HIDE THE BEER
WELL, HE JUST GRINNED AND SAID MY FRIEND, I KNOW YOU MAY THINK IT'S ODD
BUT YOU GOT NOTHING TO FEAR ABOUT DRINKIN A BEER IF YOU'LL SHARE IT WITH THE SON OF GOD

CHORUS

WELL, I SAW GOOD NEWS IN HIS BABY BLUES SO I STOMPED IT ON THE FLOOR
I SAID YOU'LL HAVE TO SHOW ME HOW TO GET THERE, I AIN'T BEEN BEFORE
WELL, IT'S A HARD PLACE TO FIND HE SAID BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE CLUE
IT AIN'T SOMEWHERE UP IN THE AIR, IT'S RIGHT HERE INSIDE YOU

THEN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT PERFECT SMILE, FROM HIS ROBES HE PULLED A GUN
STUCK IT RIGHT UPSIDE MY HEAD AND SAID HOW'S THIS FOR KINGDOM COME??
WELL, I PULLED OFF SCARED AND I HEARD HIM SAY AS HE LEFT ME BENEATH THE STARS
YOU KNOW THE LORD MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS AND TONIGHT MY SON
HE'S GONNA USE YOUR CAR

CHORUS
