New Highway: Larry Sparks
Album: Larry Sparks-40
Written by Homer Jackson
Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: (A)//// //// //// ////
I read a book a-(D)-bout a man
Who (E) never went to (A) school
He could tell you more (D) things about life
Than (E) any man ever (A) knew
He didn’t study to be a (D) carpenter
But (E) things he could (A) build
Would stand the storms (D) life could bring
No (E) matter how small or (A) big
Chorus:
And he built a new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven
And few there’ll be me that travel there-(E)-on
He put me on a (A) new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven
There’s no detour sign, you (E) don’t have to travel a-(A)-lone
Instrumental (on recording-mandolin): Follow pattern of any verse
(A) He didn’t study to be a (D) scientist
Or (E) have a doctor’s de-(A)-gree
He knew more than any (D) surgeon
Of this (E) world could ever (A) teach
He can remove a (D) stony heart
Put a (E) new one in its (A) place
Jesus does this from (D) inside out
Leaves no (E) scars, no other (A) trace
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental (on recording-guitar): Follow pattern of any verse
He put me on a (A) new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven
And few there’ll be me that travel there-(E)-on
He put me on a (A) new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven
There’s no detour sign, you (E) don’t have to travel a-(A)-lone
He put me on a new high-(D)-way to (A) Heaven
