[Primeira Parte]

            C               Am
I’m packing up, I’ve gotta move
          F                 C
I’m gon' blow a fifty-foot hole
             G                 Am
Through the dark clouds in my room
              C
I’m making a change
                  Am
I'm gonna start today
          F                      C
I’m gon' roll these dice with a song tonight
           G                Am
I'm gonna whip these blues away
             Am                  G              F
And I’m gon' run so far they’ll never find me again

             C                E
But I ain’t leavin’, I ain’t leavin’
           Am                F
'Less I’m leavin’ here with you
           C               E
I’ve been patient while I waited
       Am                F
But I feel it’s time to move
             Am                 F
You’ve been crying, yeah, I’ve seen you
        C               G
Honey, I’ve been crying too
         C                    G
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven
          Am                 F
I’m gon' keep them safe for you
         C                    G
If your prayers don’t get to Heaven
          Am        F             Am
I’m gon' keep them safe ‘til they do

        C                 Am
I just wait in cold, cold gray
       F                   C                G                 Am
But I know like I’ve been told, yeah, mama said, “Hold on to hope”
              C                      Am
She whispers sweet, "there's a light and glory"
               F                      C
But you gotta burn that sound of the voices out
            G                 Am
That wanna bring you to your knees
          Am                  G               F
You gotta run so far they'll never find you again

     C            C/B      Am           F
And when I was a child, a dream came to me
             C           C/B            Am           F
Well, every soul hanging low found its piece of dignity
           Am            F               C                    G
'Til that dream gets to Heaven, you can ride this train for free
           Am            F               C                 G
'Til that dream gets to Heaven, you can ride this train on me
            Am                  G              F
And we gon' run so far they'll never find us again
