Bm                              E
I've walked this road about as far 
as it goes and

My souls been broken i can't walk

Lord forgive me cause i know i've 
done wrong,
G                         D      
Walk beside me help them sing 
   A
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.

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

     G                             
The red clay, my georgia soil, the 
 A
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    
I'm on my way up, on my way up,

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