[Verse 1]
         B5
Like the lion tears the flesh off of
 a man
         B5
So can a woman who passes herself 
off as a male
           B5
They sang “Danny Boy” at his funeral
 and the Lord’s Prayer
    B5
The preacher talking ’bout Christ 
betrayed
              E5
It’s like the earth just opened and 
swallowed him up
               E5
He reached too high, was thrown back
 to the ground
         B5
You know what they say about bein’ 
nice to the right people on the way 
up
B5
Sooner or later you gonna meet them 
comin’ down
            B              G#m
Well, there ain’t no goin’ back
          E
When your foot of pride come down
         B5
Ain’t no goin’ back


[Verse 2]
                            B5
Hear ya got a brother named James, 
don’t forget faces or names
                               B5
Sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed
          B5
He looked straight into the sun and 
said revenge is mine
       B5
But he drinks, and drinks can be 
fixed
        E5
Sing me one more song, about ya love
 me to the moon and the stranger
         E5
And your fall-by-the sword love 
affair with Errol Flynn

         B5
In these times of compassion when 
conformity’s in fashion
    B5
Say one more stupid thing to me 
before the final nail is driven in.
            B              G#m
Well, there ain’t no goin’ back
          E
When your foot of pride come down
      B5
Ain’t no goin’ back


[Verse 3]
            B5
There’s a retired businessman named 
Red
     B5
Cast down from heaven and he’s out 
of his head
   B5
He feeds off of everyone that-a he 
can touch
           B5
He said he only deals in cash or 
sells tickets to a plane crash
B5
Not somebody that you play around 
with much
E7
  Miss Delilah is his, a Philistine 
is what she is
         E7
She’ll do wondrous works with your 
fate
         B5
Feed you coconut bread, spice buns 
in your bed
       B5
If you don’t mind sleepin’ with your
 head face down in a grave
            B              G#m
Well, there ain’t no goin’ back
          E
When your foot of pride come down
               B5
Ain’t no goin’ back


[Verse 4]
              B5
Well, they’ll choose a man for you 
to meet tonight
       B5
You’ll play the fool and learn how 
to walk through doors
       B5
How to enter into the gates of 
paradise – no ...
       B5
How to carry a burden too heavy to 
be yours
               E7
Yeah, from the stage they’ll be 
tryin’ to get water outa rocks
  E7
A whore will pass the hat, collect a
 hundred grand and say thanks
             B5
They like to take all this money 
from sin, build big universities to 
study in
       B5
Sing “Amazing Grace” all the way to 
the Swiss banks
            B              G#m
Well, there ain’t no goin’ back
          E
When your foot of pride come down
               B5
Ain’t no goin’ back


[Verse 5]
              B5
They got some beautiful people out 
there, man
They can be a terror to your mind 
                              B5
and show you how to hold your tongue
         B5
They got mystery written all over 
their forehead
          B5
They kill babies in the crib and say
 only the good die young
E7
They don’t believe in mercy
E7
Judgement on them is something that 
you’ll never see
          B5
They can exalt you up or bring you 
down main route
         B5
Turn you into anything that they 
want you to be
            B              G#m
Well, there ain’t no goin’ back
          E
When your foot of pride come down
         B5
Ain’t no goin’ back


[Verse 6]
B5
Yes, I guess I loved him too
      B5
I can still see him in my mind 
climbin’ that hill
       B5
Did he make it to the top, well he 
probably did and dropped
B5
 Struck down by the strength of the 
will
E5
 Ain’t nothin’ left here, partner
         E5
Just the dust of a plague that has 
left this whole town afraid
     B5
From now on, this’ll be where you’re
 from
         B5
Let the dead bury the dead. Your 
time will come
         B5
Let hot iron blow as he raised the 
shade
      B              G#m
There ain’t no goin’ back
E
 When your foot of pride come down
         B5
Ain’t no goin’ back ... oh yeah
