  A

  Well an old man said to me

  G				D

  In a voice filled with pain

  A

  Where you going young man

  G	D

  

  (same)

  Said I'm going to fight a war

  Gonna fight for my country

  In some foreign land

  

  (same)

  He said "The sun will never hurt you

  Never harmed anyone

  But you must realize"

  

  (same)

  If you try to stare her down

  She will win in the end

  She will burn your eyes

  She will burn them

  

  G			D

  Seen a million places

  G			D	C

  Seen a million faces die

  G			D

  And I wonder who will walk with me

  (repeat intro)

  When I get to Heaven

  

  He said "Boy I was young once

  Yeah I was tough

  Sailing on Uncle Sam's boat

  Hey I could kill the enemy

  I could die on foreign streets

  But I could not vote

  But now you walk by me

  You won't talk to me

  Say this is my fate

  But every time you walk the streets boy

  Most of them you meet

  You see it's you they hate

  It's you...

  

  Seen a million faces

  Seen a million places die

  And I wonder who will walk with me

  When I get to Heaven

  I hope I get there

  

  (solo)

  

  Seen a million places

  Seen a million faces die

  And I wonder who will walk with me 

  (guitar out, piano/bass do the B/A/E)

  When I get there

  

  (stab chords on offbeat)

  See this woman sitting next to me

  She's been there for a long, long time

  And when I fell, she picked me up

  When I cried, she wiped my tears

  I thank god she's mine

  And when I leave this world

  She won't have anything

  But her love for me

  'Cause the man took everything else

  Made me hate myself

  So just let her be boy

  Won't you let her be

  

  (guitar back full)

  Seen a million faces

  Seen a million places die

  Seen a million mothers

  Seen a million mothers cryin'

  And I wonder who will walk with me

  When I get to Heaven

  When I get to Heaven

  I hope I get there

  When I get to Heaven
