(Verse 1)
(D) Sons of the valley, swinging low
You can't (D)find it, somewhere you don't want to go (Come on down)
So, bring your (D)anger, (Come on down) mo guarantees (Come on down)style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
I'll trade it (D)all for the (A)rise in front of (D)me (Come on down)style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
 
(Pre-Chorus)
All my de-(D)cisions, (Come on down) all my control (Come on down)
It's time for (D)me to stop and let it go
 
(Chorus)
When I (G)die, when I die, save the (D)tears, don't ya cry
I'll be (A)on, I'll be on that yonder (D)mountain in the sky
Let me (G)go, I'll be alright, no other (D)way to get back (Bm)home
Past the (D)gates on down the (A)road, I'll sing with (G)angels around the (D)throne
Past the (D)gates on down the (A)road
I'll sing with (G)angels around the throne
 
(Instrumental)

(Verse 2)
(D) My revolution, closing time
(D)I'm pulling apart the (A)violent threads from the (D)ties that bind (Come on down)
I'm (D)passing over, (Come on down) the (D)great divide (Come on down)
I'm (D)sailing past the (A)ocean by and by (D)
 
(Chorus)
When I (G)die, when I die, save the (D)tears, don't ya cry
I'll be (A)on, I'll be on that yonder (D)mountain in the sky
Let me (G)go, I'll be alright, no other (D)way to get back (Bm)home
Past the (D)gates on down the (A)road, I'll sing with (G)angels around the (D)throne
Past the (D)gates on down the (A)road, 
I'll sing with (G)angels around the throne

(Instrumental)

(Bridge)
(D)When I go out yonder, don't you cry for me
(D)I will always wonder, why you're losing sleep
(D)Onward I am going, farther, I will be
(D)All my old friends, singing next to me
 
(Chorus)
When I (G)die, when I die, save the (D)tears, don't ya cry
I'll be (A)on, I'll be on that yonder (D)mountain in the sky
Let me (G)go, I'll be alright, no other (D)way to get back (Bm)home
Past the (D)gates on down the (A)road, I'll sing with (G)angels around the (D)throne
Past the (D)gates on down the (A)road
I'll sing with (G)angels around the (NC) throne
