Gonna Move

Intro Bass note   A   B   D   A  2X  then   (bar chords) A    Bm    Dm7    A  (shuffle groove)

[Verse 1]
A                         Bm
When I was a little boy I felt so alone
Dm7                         A
Quiet country house that I had to call home
A                           Bm
Living with a couple folks, rich millionaires
Dm7                          A
Sat on their money Lord it seemed they didn't care

[Verse 2]
A                           Bm
Finally we moved to our own place
Dm7                                            A
Where I could walk around with a smile on my face
A                           Bm
And I knew in order to be a man
Dm7                                             A
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land

[Chorus]
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there

[Verse 3]
A                           Bm
Came to a school in the big city
Dm7                                            A
Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty
A                                         Bm
They told me to teach me to live by their rules
Dm7                         A
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool

[Verse 4]
A                    Bm
I found out, not too long
Dm7                                   A
Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song
A                       Bm
I knew in order to be a man
Dm7                                                     A
I had to pull up roots once again and move on in this land

[Chorus]
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there

[Solo]
A | Bm | Dm7 | A |

[Chorus]
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there

[Verse 5]
A                         Bm
Then I joined the college ranks
Dm7                                      A
There they said they'd teach me how to think
A                                   Bm
Gave me books to read and papers to write
Dm7                                         A
They didn't know about this boy's come to fight

[Verse 6]
A                     Bm
But I found out after awhile
Dm7                                          A
Reading those books was making me loose my smile
A                         Bm
I knew in order to not conceal
Dm7                                      A
I had to play music and express what I feel

[Chorus]
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there
A                        Bm
I'm gonna move away from here
Dm7                                 A
You can find me if you want to go there
