Ticket To Heaven - Dire Straits
 
 Ticket to Heaven 
      by 
 Dire Straits
 
 Intro:  D  Bm  G  A   (twice)
 
 D                                                         A    
 I can see what you`re looking to find in the smile on my face
 G                A               G          D
 In my peace of mind       In my state of grace
 D                                            A
 I send what I can to the man from the ministry
 G                        A                    D
 he`s a part of heaven`s plan and he talks to me
 
 D                                                   A
 Now I send what I can to the man with the diamond ring
 G                        A     G                 D
 he`s a part of heaven`s plan    and he sure can sing
 D                                                         A
 now it`s all I can afford but the lord has sent me eternity
 G                          A                     D
 it`s to save the little children in a poor country
 
 D                                           A
 I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
 G                     A     G         D
 I got a ride all the way     to paradise
 D                                           A
 I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
 G          A           D
 all the  way to paradise
                                                                   
 D
 Now there`s nothing left for luxuries nothing left to pay my
           A                          
 heating bills
 G                           A    G           D 
 but the good lord will provide    I know he will
 D                                                  A
 so send what you can to the man with the diamond ring
 G                              A                D
 they`re tuning in across the land to hear him sing
 D                                           A
 I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
 G                   A    G         D
 got a ride all the way    to paradise
 D                                           A
 I got my ticket to heaven and everlasting life
 G         A           D       Bm
 All the way to paradise
 G         A           D       Bm
 All the way to paradise
 
 G    A   D    Bm
 G        A     D

The intro you provided is a great start, but there are some minor adjustments that can be made to improve the sound and make it more accurate. Here's my suggestion: e-0---|--------------------------------- b-1-3-|--------3-0---------------------- g-0-0-|------------------4-2~-0--------- d-2-4-|--0h2-2-----0h2-2----------4--4/5 a-3-5-|-------------------------3---3--- e-----|--------------------------------- The verse is the same, but I made a few adjustments to make it more accurate.
