When I Go Away

Performed by Levon Helm on Electric Dirt
Written by Larry Campbell 


AmEarly in the morning, when the church bells toll
E7The choir's gonna sing, and the hearse will roll
AmOn down to the graveyard, where it's cold and gray
C G D AmAnd then the sun's gonna shine through the shadows when I go away
AmDon't want no sorrow, for this old orphan boy
E7I don't want no crying, only tears of joy
AmI'm gonna see my mother, gonna see my father
C G D AmAnd I'll be bound for glory in the morning when I go away
G AmI'll be lifted up to the clouds on the wings of angels
G E7There's only flesh and bones in the ground where my troubles will stay
AmSee that storm over yonder, it's gonna rain all day
C G D AmBut then the sun's gonna shine through the shadows when I go away
Bridge:
Am(I'm going home - Lift me up) When I go away
(I'm going home - Lift me up) No more crying (I'm going home - Lift me up) No more trials (I'm going home - Lift me up) Home to leave my worries in the ground Home to leave my worries in the graveyard Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard Home to leave my trials
C G D AmAnd I'll be bound for glory in the morning when I go away
AmAll my kin who love me, all my friends who care
E7Look beyond the dark clouds we're gonna meet up there
AmWhen they lay me in the cold ground, bow your heads and pray
C G D AmAnd I'll be bound for glory in the morning when I go away
C G D AmAnd then the sun's gonna shine through the shadows when I go away
Bridge:
C G D AmAnd I'll be bound for glory in the morning when I go away
