And they won't go when I go.

And I'll go,

From tears.

Because they won't go when I go.

Em B7, Em7 D7,

Big men feeling small,

Weak ones standing tall;

I will watch them fall,

They won't go when I go.

And I'll go,

Em
Unclean minds mis-lead the pure,
C
The innocent will leave for sure,
Em A7
For them there is a resting place.
Em
People sinning just for fun,
C
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
Who will take more,
C
Than he will give;
B7 Bbdim
He'll give, he'll give,
Adim*
He ain't hardly gonna give,
Em
Ooh yeah.

Verse 3:
Em B7
The greed of man will be,
Em7 D7
Far away from me.
G D7
And my soul will be free;
I will watch them fall,
G B7 Em
They won't go when I go.
Interlude:
Em B7, Em7 D7,
G D7, G B7 Em
Em B7
Since my soul con-ceived,
Em7 D7
All that I be-lieve,
G D7
The kingdom I will see;
G Em B7
'Cos they won't go when I go.
Chorus 3:
Adim Abdim
When I go,
Gdim F#dim
Where I'll go,
Fdim Edim
No one,
Ebdim Ddim
Can keep,
Gdim F#dim
Me from;
B7 Em
My...desti...ny.
