Intro Bass note A B D A 2X then (bar chords) A Bm Dm7 A (shuffle groove)
[Verse 1]
A Bm
When I was a little boy I felt so alone
Dm7 A
Quiet country house that I had to call home
A Bm
Living with a couple folks, rich millionaires
Dm7 A
Sat on their money Lord it seemed they didn't care
[Verse 2]
A Bm
Finally we moved to our own place
Dm7 A
Where I could walk around with a smile on my face
A Bm
And I knew in order to be a man
Dm7 A
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
[Chorus]
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
[Verse 3]
A Bm
Came to a school in the big city
Dm7 A
Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty
A Bm
They told me to teach me to live by their rules
Dm7 A
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
[Verse 4]
A Bm
I found out, not too long
Dm7 A
Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song
A Bm
I knew in order to be a man
Dm7 A
I had to pull up roots once again and move on in this land
[Chorus]
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
[Solo]
A | Bm | Dm7 | A |
[Chorus]
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
[Verse 5]
A Bm
Then I joined the college ranks
Dm7 A
There they said they'd teach me how to think
A Bm
Gave me books to read and papers to write
Dm7 A
They didn't know about this boy's come to fight
[Verse 6]
A Bm
But I found out after awhile
Dm7 A
Reading those books was making me loose my smile
A Bm
I knew in order to not conceal
Dm7 A
I had to play music and express what I feel
[Chorus]
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7 A
You can find me if you want to go there
