Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Em
 
[Verse 1]
Em            B7/F#    Em/G           Am6
No more lying friends, wanting tragic ends
Em/B              C6    G/D                B7 [ Em ]
Though they do pretend; they won't go when I go
 
[Interlude]
  Em       B7/F#   Em/G     Am6   Em/B       C6   Em/B      B7  
 
[Verse 2]
Em                 B7/F#        Em/G         Am6
All those bleeding hearts, with sorrows to impart
     Em/B                C6         G/D                B7 Em
Were right here from the start, and they won't go when I  go
 
[Chorus]
    A7   D7  G7   C7      F7 A#7 D#7 G#7   C#7 F#7  B7    Em   %  
And I'll go, I've longed, to go, so  long, a-  way, from tears
 
[Interlude]
  Em       B7/F#   Em/G       Am6   Em/B       C6   Em/B     B7   Em   %  
 (Ah, ah-ah, ah ah ...)
 
[Verse 3]
Em                B7/F#   Em/G              Am6
Gone from painful cries, away from saddened eyes
 Em/B               C6            G/D                B7 [ Em ]
Along with him I'll bide, because they won't go when I go
 
[Interlude]
Em       B7/F#   Em/G     Am6   Em/B       C6   Em/B      B7  
(Ah, ah-ah, ah ah ...)
 
[Verse 4]
Em              B7/F#  Em/G               Am6
Big men feeling small, weak ones standing tall
Em/B              C6    G/D                B7 [ Em ]
I will watch them fall; they won't go when I go
 
[Chorus]
    A7   D7  G7   C7      F7 A#7 D#7 G#7   C#7 F#7  B7    Em   %  
And I'll go, I've longed, to go, so  long, a-  way, from tears
 
[Middle 8]
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             Cmaj9        C
Who will take more than he will give
B7aug         A#13                 A7                  Em
He will give, he'll give, he ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah
 
[Interlude]
Em       B7/F#   Em/G       Am6   Em/B       C6   Em/B      B7   Em   %  
 
[Verse 5]
    Em                B7/F# Em/G          Am6
The greed of man will be,   far away from me
    Em/B            C6    G/D                B7 [ Em ]
And my soul will be free; they won't go when I go
 
[Interlude]
 Em       B7/F#   Em/G     Am6   Em/B       C6   Em/B      B7  
(Ah, ah-ah, ah ah ...)
 
[Verse 6]
Em                B7/F#   Em/G         Am6
 Since my soul conceived, all that I believe
    Em/B           C6        G/D                B7   Em
The kingdom I will see; 'cos they won't go when I go
 
[Chorus]
     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-y-y destiny-y
 
Coda
  Em       B7/F#   Em       Am6   Em/B       C6   Em      Baug   Em
                                                    (freely)
              No more lying friends
Wanting tragic ends
Though they do pretend
They won't go when I go

All those bleeding hearts
With sorrows to impart
Right here from the start
They won't go when I go

And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh
Gone from painful cries
Away from saddened eyes
Along with him I'll bide
And they won't go when I go

Oh, ah, oh, ah, oh, oh

Big men feeling small
Weak ones standing tall
And I will watch them fall
They won't go when I go
And I'll go where I've longed
To go so long
Away from tears
Unclean minds mislead the pure
The innocent will leave for sure
For them there is a resting place
People sinning just for fun
They will never see the sun
For they can never show their faces
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who will take more than he will give
He'll give, he'll give
He ain't hardly gonna give, oh yeah

The greed of man will be
Far away from me
My soul will be free
They won't go when I go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Since my soul conceived
All that I believe
The kingdom I will see
They won't go when I go
And I'll go
Where I'll go, no one can keep me from my destiny, yeah
