from ‘Fulfillingness’ First Finale’ (1974)

CAPO 2nd FRET

(Original Key F#)

Intro:

Am Em, Am G,

(x2)

Em,

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

Verse 1:

No more lying friends,
Wanting tragic ends.
Though they do pre-tend;
They won’t go when I go.

Interlude:

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

All those bleeding hearts,
With sorrows to im-part;
Were right here from the start.
And they won’t go when I go.

Chorus 1:

And I’ll go,
Where I’ve longed,
To go,
So long,
A -way,
From tears.

Interlude:

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

Verse 2:

Gone from painful cries,
A-way from saddened eyes,
A-long with him I’ll bide;
Because they won’t go when I go.

Interlude:

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

Big men feeling small,
Weak ones standing tall;
I will watch them fall,
They won’t go when I go.

Chorus 2:

And I’ll go,
Where I’ve longed,
To go,
So long,
A -way,
From tears.

Bridge 1:

Unclean minds mis-lead 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,
Adim
He ain’t hardly gonna give,
Ooh yeah.

Break:

Verse 3:

The greed of man will be,
Far away from me.
And my soul will be free;
I will watch them fall,
They won’t go when I go.

Interlude:

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

Since my soul con-ceived,
All that I be-lieve,
The kingdom I will see;
‘Cos they won’t go when I go.

Chorus 3:

When I go,
Where I’ll go,
No one,
Can keep,
Me from;
My…desti…ny.

Coda:

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

Outro:

They won’t go when I…go.
