CHORDS IN THIS SONG

Shapes with capo 3
  • Am×
  • G
  • F
  • C×

Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 3 to see the real chords with no capo.

Verse One

TBA

Chorus One

I will go down

And no longer come around

I will go down

Burn in flames and hit the ground

I will go down

Never to fall in love again

I will go down

My lover

Exit Chorus One

Take my gold, I am learning to love again

Take my land, I am ready to run

Take my love, I am ready to hide

Take my life......

I am, I am... Oh -----

Exit Chorus One

Wherever you go, I hope nothing but the best for you both

I am, stuck in my place, but don't worry for me, I can take myself in

Let me give you everything that I have, cause what I have now, doesn't make much sense to me

Exit Chorus One

Take my land, take my love, oh --- take my life

Never to return, I will run, the only thing I'm good at doing

I will run ---------

Maybe it's back to you.

Maybe it's back to you.
