Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - When I Go
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:   Am    C    G    Dsus2    Fsus2    G  Am  
Come, lonely hunter, Cchieftain and Gking
I will Dsus2fly like the Fsus2falcon Gwhen I Amgo
Bear me my brother Cunder your Gwing
I will Dsus2strike fell like Fsus2lightning Gwhen I Amgo
I will Cbellow like the thunder drum, inGvoke the storm of war
A twisting Dmpillar spun of dust and blood up Amfrom the prairie floor
I will Csweep the foe before me like a Ggale out on the snow
And the Dsus2wind will long recount the story 
Fsus2reverence and Gglory, when I Amgo
INTERLUDE:   Am    C    G    Dsus2    Fsus2    G  Am  
Spring, spirit dancer, Cnimble and Gthin
I will Dsus2leap like coFsus2yote  Gwhen I Amgo
Tireless entrancer, Clend me your Gskin
I will Dsus2run like the Fsus2grey wolf Gwhen I Amgo
I will Cclimb the rise at daybreak, I will Gkiss the sky at noon
Raise my Dmyearning voice at midnight to my Ammother in the moon
I will Cmake the lay of long defeat and Gdraw the chorus slow
I'll send this Dsus2message down the wire and hope that
Fsus2someone wise is Glistening when I Amgo
INSTRUMENTAL:   Am    C    G    Dsus2    Fsus2    G  Am  
              Am  C  G  Dsus2  Fsus2  G  Am
And Cwhen the sun comes trumpets from his Gred house in the east
He will Dmfind a standing stone where long I Amchanted my release
He will Csend his morning messenger to Gstrike the hammer blow
And I will Dsus2crumble down uncountable 
In Fsus2showers of crimson Grubies when I Amgo
INTERLUDE:   Am    C    G    Dsus2    Fsus2    G  Am  
Sigh, mournful sister, Cwhisper and Gturn
I will Dsus2rattle like Fsus2dry leaves Gwhen I Amgo
Stand in the mist where my Cfire used to Gburn
I will Dsus2camp on the Fsus2night breeze Gwhen I Amgo
And Cshould you glimpse my wandering form out Gon the borderline
Between Dmdeath and resurrection and the Amcouncil of the pines
Do not Cworry for my comfort, do not Gsorrow for me so
All your Dsus2diamond tears will rise up
And aFsus2dorn the sky beGside me when I Amgo
OUTRO:   Am    C    G    Dsus2    Fsus2    G  Am
