Tom: E

                   E
    For fear the hearts of men are failing,
                   A               E
    for these are latter days we know.

    The Great Depression now is spreading,
                  B7                E
    God's word declared it would be so.

            E
I'm going where there's no depression,
               A                     E
to the lovely land that's free from care.

I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
              B7                 E
my home's in Heaven, I'm going there.

                    E
    In that bright land, there'll be no hunger,
                A                   E
    no orphan children cryin' for bread,

    no weeping widows, toil or struggle,
                    B7               E
    no shrouds, no coffins, and no death.

            E
I'm going where there's no depression,
               A                     E
to the lovely land that's free from care.

I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
              B7                 E
my home's in Heaven, I'm going there.

                E
    This dark hour of midnight nearing,
          A                E
    tribulation time will come.

    The storm will hurl the midnight fears,
                    B7                E
    and sweep lost millions to their doom.

            E
I'm going where there's no depression,
               A                     E
to the lovely land that's free from care.

I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
              B7                 E
my home's in Heaven, I'm going there.
