Verse 1:

Em             B7       Em7            D7
 No more lying friends, wanting tragic ends,
G                   D7    G                  B7   Em
 Though they do pre-tend; they won't go when I go.

Em                  B7           Em7           D7
 All those bleeding hearts, with sorrows to im-part;
     G                   D7         G                  B7   Em
Were right here from the start, and they won't go when I go.

Chorus 1:

    Adim Abdim     Gdim F#dim  Fdim Edim Ebdim Ddim Gdim F#dim B7   Em
And I'll go, where I've longed, to  go,  so    long, a  -way,  from tears.

Verse 2:

Em                 B7       Em7               D7
 Gone from painful cries, a-way from saddened eyes,
  G                  D7            G                  B7    Em
A-long with him I'll bide, because they won't go when I go.

Em               B7     Em7                D7
 Big men feeling small, weak ones standing tall;
G                  D7    G                  B7    Em
 I will watch them fall; they won't go when I go.

Chorus 2:

    Adim Abdim     Gdim F#dim  Fdim Edim Ebdim Ddim Gdim F#dim B7   Em
And I'll go, where I've longed, to  go,  so    long, a  -way,  from tears.

Bridge 1:

Em                               C
 Unclean minds mis-lead the pure, the innocent will leave for sure;
Em                   A7
 For them there is a resting place.

Em                           C
 People sinning just for fun, they will never see the sun,
Em                             A7
 For they can never show their faces.

               D7
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner,
         G7                     C
Who will take more than he will give,
      B7          Bbdim                 Adim*           Em
He'll give, he'll give, he ain't hardly gonna give, ooh yeah.

Break:

Em

Verse 3:

    Em                B7  Em7           D7
The greed of man will be, far away from me,
    G               D7    G                  B7    Em
And my soul will be free; they won't go when I go.

Interlude:

Em  B7, Em7  D7, G  D7, G  B7  Em

Em                 B7      Em7           D7
 Since my soul con-ceived, all that I be-lieve,
    G              D7        G                  B7    Em
The kingdom I will see; 'cos they won't go when I go.

Chorus 3:

     Adim Abdim     Gdim F#dim Fdim Edim Ebdim Ddim
When I    go, where I'll go,    no  one, can   keep,
Gdim F#dim B7           Em
 Me  from; my...desti...ny.

Interlude:

Em  B7, Em7  D7, G  D7, G  B7  Em

G                   B7  Em
 They won't go when I...go.
