Judy Collins - When I Go
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
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]
Am G C Em Dm7 F G Am
[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
