Verse 1:
Em             B7/F#    Em/G           Am6
 No more lying friends, wanting tragic ends,
Em/B                Am6   G                  B7   Em
 Though they do pre-tend; they won't go when I go.

Verse 2:
Em                  B7/F#        Em/G          Am6
 All those bleeding hearts, with sorrows to im-part;
     Em/B                Am6        G                  B7   Em
Were right here from the start, and they won't go when I go.

    A7   D7        G7   C7      F7 A#7 D#7 G#7   C#7 F#7  B7   Em
And I'll go, where I've longed, to go, so  long, a  -way, from tears.

Em                 B7/F#    Em/G              Am6
 Gone from painful cries, a-way from saddened eyes,
  Em/B               Am6           G                  B7  (Em)
A-long with him I'll bide, because they won't go when I go.

Em               B7/F#  Em/G               Am6
 Big men feeling small, weak ones standing tall;
Em/B               Am6   G                  B7   Em
 I will watch them fall; they won't go when I go.
Chorus 2:
    A7   D7        G7   C7      F7 A#7 D#7 G#7   C#7 F#7  B7   Em
And I'll go, where I've longed, to go, so  long, a  -way, from tears.
Bridge 1:
Em                              C
 Unclean minds mislead the pure, the innocent will leave for sure;
Em                   A9
 For them there is a resting place.
Em                           C
 People sinning just for fun, 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          A#7                   A7             Em
He'll give, he'll give, he ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah.

Verse 5:
    Em                B7/F# Em/G          Am6
The greed of man will be,   far away from me,
    Em/B            Am6   G                  B7   (Em)
And my soul will be free; they won't go when I go.

Verse 6:
Em                 B7/F#   Em/G          Am6
 Since my soul con-ceived, all that I be-lieve,
    Em/B           Am6       G                  B7   Em
The kingdom I will see; 'cos they won't go when I... go.
Chorus 3:
     A7 D7        G7   C7  F7 A#7  D#7 G#7
When I  go, where I'll go, no one, can keep,
C#7 F#7  B7             Em
 Me from; my... desti...ny.
