[Bridge]
G
Off to the promised land.
A
Open up the gates and let me in
Bm
So tired of this struggle against the wind
DA
I can't go no further, I give in
G
Let me rest my head and catch my breath
A
The roads so cold i caught my death
Bm
Been runnin' & runnin' i can't run no more
DA
Drop to my knees rise above
GA
This heartache, just too much pain departed
Bm
And heaven awaits a poor soul, my mortal coil
DA
Is just a bag of bones that you can bury down low
GA
The red clay, my georgia soil, the land i love and i call home
Bm
I'm leavin, never come to return,
DF#
I'm gonna take that walk and leave this world

I'm on my way up, on my way up, on my way up
