       Am7     C/B           C 
When I get where I'm going 
             F       Am7      F 
On the far side of the sky 
         F     G        C           Am7 
The first thing that I'm gonna do 
      F                 C            G 
Is spread my wings and fly 
               Am7    C/B      C 
I'm gonna land beside a lion 
                        F       Am7             F 
And run my fingers through his mane 
     F          G           C        Am7 
Or I might find out what it's like 
       F       C         G 
To ride a drop of rain 
  
                               F 
Yeah when I get where I'm going 
                   C 
There'll be only happy tears 
          G 
I will shed the sins and struggles 
               F                      C 
I have carried all these years 
       F 
I'll leave my heart wide open 
       Am7 
I will love and have no fear 
                               G 
Yeah when I get where I'm going 
         Am7                     C 
Don't cry for me down here 
  
       Am7     C/B           C 
I'm gonna walk with my granddaddy 
             F       Am7      F 
And he'll match me step for step 
         F     G        C           Am7 
And I'll tell him how I missed him  
      F                 C            G 
Every minute since he left 
         A                      G 
And then I'll hug his neck 
  
                               F 
Yeah when I get where I'm going 
                   C 
There'll be only happy tears 
          G 
I will shed the sins and struggles 
               F                      C 
I have carried all these years 
       F 
I'll leave my heart wide open 
       Am7 
I will love and have no fear 
                               G 
Yeah when I get where I'm going 
         Am7                     C 
Don't cry for me down here 
  
                 Eb 
So much pain and so much darkness 
              F 
In this world we struggle through 
                    Ab 
All these questions I can't answer 
                         Bb 
And so much work to do 
  
        Am7         C/B            C 
But when I get where I'm going 
 
            F           Am7      F 
And I see my maker's face 
 
       F        G        C    Am7 
I'll stand forever in the light 
 
      F         C          G 
Of His amazing grace 
  
                           F             C 
Oh when I get where I'm going 
                             F            C- 

(Oh when I get where I'm going)- 
-                   C 
-There'll be only happy tears 
          F 

(Hallelujah) 
       Am7 
I will love and have no fear 
                       F             C 
When I get where I'm going 
                               F              C 
Yeah when I get where I'm going
