Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)
By Steve Earle 


Intro Chords:
E  A  E  B

E                                  A
The warden said he'd mail my letter
    E                         B
The chaplain's waitin' by the door
E                              A
Tonight we'll cross the yard together
E                       B
Then they can't hurt me anymore


Chorus:
      E    B7         C#m     G#m
Cause I am going over yonder
A        E                B     
Where no ghost can follow me
E                       A  
There's another place beyond here
E                  B    
Where I'll be free, I believe


Give my radio to Johnson
Thibodeaux can have my fan
Just send my Bible home to Mama
Call her every now and then

Chorus

I suppose I got it comin'
I can't ever pay enough
All my rippin' and a-runnin'
I hurt everyone I loved
The world'll turn around without me
The sun'll come up in the east
Shinin' down on all of them that hate me
I hope my goin' brings 'em peace

Chorus
