When I Go

Am     G  C  Em  Dm  F G  Am

Am          G        C           Em
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
        Dm           F       G       Am
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh


[Verse 1]
             G       C             Em
Come, lonely hunter, chieftain and king
       Dm           G             Am
I will fly like the falcon when I go
           G       C          Em
Bear me my brother under your wing
       Dm               G                Am
I will strike fell like lightning when I go


[Verse 2]
       C                               G
I will bellow like the thunder drum, invoke the storm of war
           Dm             F                           G       Am
A twisting pillar spun of dust and blood, up from the prairie floor
       C                              G
I will sweep the foe before me like a gale out on the snow
        Dm
And the wind will long recount the story
F             G             Am
Reverence and glory, when I go


[Bridge]
      G        C        Em  Dm7  F G  Am
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh


[Verse 3]
               G       C          Em
Spring, spirit dancer, nimble and thin
       Dm          G           Am
I will leap like coyote when I go
           G        C            Em
Tireless entrancer, lend me your skin
       Dm           G                Am
I will run like the grey wolf when I go


[Verse 4]
       C                                  G
I will climb the rise at daybreak, I will kiss the sky at noon
         Dm                F                     G      Am
Raise my yearning voice at midnight to my mother in the moon
       C                               G
I will make the lay of long defeat and draw the chorus slow
          Dm
Send this message down the wire
              F               G                Am
And hope that someone wise is listening when I go


[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Am          G        C           Em
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
        Dm           F       G       Am
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh


[Verse 5]
    C                                    G
And when the sun comes trumpets from his red house in the east
        Dm              F                     G            Am
He will find a standing stone where long I've chanted my release
        C                             G
He will send his morning messenger to strike the hammer blow
           Dm
And I will crumble down uncountable
   F                  G             Am
In showers of crimson rubies when I go


[Interlude]
Am  G  C  Em  Dm7  F G  Am


[Verse 6]
               G       C           Em
Sigh, mournful sister, whisper and turn
       Dm          G                 Am
I will rattle like dry leaves when I go
             G             C            Em
Stand in the mist where my fire used to burn
       Dm          G                   Am
I will camp on the night breeze when I go


[Verse 7]
    C                                        G
And should you glimpse my wandering form out on the borderline
        Dm             F                       G      Am
Between death and resurrection and the council of the pines
       C                            G
Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so
         Dm
All your diamond tears will rise up
     F              G              Am
And adorn the sky beside me when I go


[Bridge]
G   C   Em
Ohh ohh ohh
Dm  F   G   Am
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh

[Outro]
       C                            G
Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so
         Dm
All your diamond tears will rise up
     F              G              Am
And adorn the sky beside me when I go
G   C   Em
Ohh ohh ohh
Dm  F   G   Am
Ohh ohh ohh ohhh
