Em B7/F# Em/G Am6
Em/B Am6 G B7 Em
Em B7/F#
No more lying friends,
Em/G Am6
Wanting tragic ends,
Em/B Am6
Though they do pretend;
G B7 Em
They won't go when I go.
Em B7/F# Em/G Am6
Em/B Am6 G B7
Em B7/F#
All those bleeding hearts,
Em/G Am6
With sorrows to impart;
Em/B Am6
Were right here from the start,
G B7 Em
And they won't go when I go.
A7 D7 G7 C7
And I'll go, where I've longed,
F7 Bb7 D#7 G#7 C#7 F#7 B7 Em
To go, so long, a - way, from tears.
Em B7/F# Em/G Am6
Em/B Am6 G B7 Em
Em B7/F#
Gone from painful cries,
Em/G Am6
away from saddened eyes,
Em/B Am6
Along with him I'll bide,
G B7 Em
And they won't go when I go.
Em B7/F# Em/G Am6
Em/B Am6 G B7
Em B7/F#
Big men feeling small,
Em/G Am6
Weak ones standing tall;
Em/B Am6
I will watch them fall;
G B7 Em
'Cause they won't go when I go.
A7 D7 G7 C7
And I'll go, where I've longed,
F7 Bb7 D#7 G#7 C#7 F#7 B7 Em
To go, so long, a - way, from tears.
Em
Unclean minds mislead the pure,
C
The innocent will leave for sure;
Em A9
For them there is a resting place.
Em
People sinning just for fun,
C
They will never see the sun,
Em A9
For they can never show their faces.
D D7
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner,
G7 C
Who will take more than he will give,
B7 Bb7
He'll give, he'll give,
A7 Em
He ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah.
Em B7/F# Em/G Am6
Em/B Am6 G B7 Em
Em B7/F#
The greed of man will be,
Em/G Am6
Far away from me,
Em/B Am6
And my soul will be free;
G B7 Em
They won't go when I go.
Em B7/F# Em/G Am6
Em/B Am6 G B7 Em
Em B7/F#
Since my soul conceived,
Em/G Am6
All that I believe,
Em/B Am6
The kingdom I will see;
G B7 Em
'cos they won't go when I go.
A7 D7 G7 C7
When I go, where I'll go,
F7 Bb7 D#7 G#7
No one, can keep,
C#7 F#7 B7 Em
Me from; my... destiny.
Em B7/F# Em/G Am6 Em/B Am6
G B7 Em
They won't go when I go.
