[Verse 1]

Bm                             E
Woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes
G                              D      A
Thanking the lord and not the day i do rise
Bm                          E
I'm at the station lookin down in the track
G                        D           A
Got to go forward, aint never turnin back , no.

Bm                      E
This southern city been all that i've know, yeah
  G                       D          A
And all i ever will this place is my home.
Bm                         E
And as i leave the station, ain't got no destination,
G                        D             A           G     F#
Without no hesitation, hands together praisin his name.


[Chorus]

          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me
          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me


[Verse 2]

Bm                           E
I kissed my momma, waved my daddy goodbye.
G                     D               A
I'm on my way up, way on to the other side.
Bm                              E
I've walked this road about as far as it goes and
G                             D       A
My souls been broken i can't walk no more.

Bm                       E
Lord forgive me cause i know i've done wrong,
G                         D         A
Walk beside me help them sing this song
Bm
I don't need no diamonds blingin',
E
I hear the angels singin'
G
The gates of heaven swangin'
D              A         G     F#
Opened up and let me in here.


[Chorus]

          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me
          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me

[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
        D              A
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
D                 A
Drop to my knees rise above

      G                                A
This heartache, just too much pain departed
                     Bm
And heaven awaits a poor soul, my mortal coil
           D                         A
Is just a bag of bones that you can bury down low

     G                              A
The red clay, my georgia soil, the land i love and i call home
     Bm
I'm leavin, never come to return,
           D                  F#
I'm gonna take that walk and leave this world


[Chorus]

          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me
          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me
          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me
          Bm             E           G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me

          Bm             E             G              F#
I'm on my way up, on my way up, on my way up
          Bm             E             G              F#    Bm
I'm on my way up, on my way up, on my way up
