[Verse 1]
B5 Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man B5 So can a woman who passes herself off as a male B5 They sang “Danny Boy” at his funeral and the Lord’s Prayer B5 The preacher talking ’bout Christ betrayed E5 It’s like the earth just opened and swallowed him up E5 He reached too high, was thrown back to the ground B5 You know what they say about bein’ nice to the right people on the way up B5 Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin’ down B G#m Well, there ain’t no goin’ back E When your foot of pride come down B5 Ain’t no goin’ back
[Verse 2]
B5 Hear ya got a brother named James, don’t forget faces or names B5 Sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed B5 He looked straight into the sun and said revenge is mine B5 But he drinks, and drinks can be fixed E5 Sing me one more song, about ya love me to the moon and the stranger E5 And your fall-by-the sword love affair with Errol Flynn B5 In these times of compassion when conformity’s in fashion B5 Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in. B G#m Well, there ain’t no goin’ back E When your foot of pride come down B5 Ain’t no goin’ back
[Verse 3]
B5 There’s a retired businessman named Red B5 Cast down from heaven and he’s out of his head B5 He feeds off of everyone that-a he can touch B5 He said he only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash B5 Not somebody that you play around with much E7 Miss Delilah is his, a Philistine is what she is E7 She’ll do wondrous works with your fate B5 Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bed B5 If you don’t mind sleepin’ with your head face down in a grave B G#m Well, there ain’t no goin’ back E When your foot of pride come down B5 Ain’t no goin’ back
[Verse 4]
B5 Well, they’ll choose a man for you to meet tonight B5 You’ll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors B5 How to enter into the gates of paradise – no ... B5 How to carry a burden too heavy to be yours E7 Yeah, from the stage they’ll be tryin’ to get water outa rocks E7 A whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks B5 They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in B5 Sing “Amazing Grace” all the way to the Swiss banks B G#m Well, there ain’t no goin’ back E When your foot of pride come down B5 Ain’t no goin’ back
[Verse 5]
B5 They got some beautiful people out there, man B5 They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your tongue B5 They got mystery written all over their forehead B5 They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young E7 They don’t believe in mercy E7 Judgement on them is something that you’ll never see B5 They can exalt you up or bring you down main route B5 Turn you into anything that they want you to be B G#m Well, there ain’t no goin’ back E When your foot of pride come down B5 Ain’t no goin’ back
[Verse 6]
B5 Yes, I guess I loved him too B5 I can still see him in my mind climbin’ that hill B5 Did he make it to the top, well he probably did and dropped B5 Struck down by the strength of the will E5 Ain’t nothin’ left here, partner E5 Just the dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid B5 From now on, this’ll be where you’re from B5 Let the dead bury the dead. Your time will come B5 Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade B G#m There ain’t no goin’ back E When your foot of pride come down B5 Ain’t no goin’ back ... oh yeah
