--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1]
Like the B5lion tears the flesh off of a man So can a B5woman who passes herself off as a male They sang “B5Danny Boy” at his funeral and the Lord’s Prayer The B5preacher talking ’bout Christ betrayed It’s like the E5earth just opened and swallowed him up He reached too E5high, was thrown back to the ground You know B5what they say about bein’ nice to the right people on the way up B5Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin’ down Well, there Bain’t no goin’ G#mback When your Efoot of pride come down Ain’t no B5goin’ back
[Verse 2]
Hear ya got a brother named B5James, don’t forget faces or names Sunken cheeks and his blood is B5mixed He looked B5straight into the sun and said revenge is mine But he B5drinks, and drinks can be fixed Sing me E5one more song, about ya love me to the moon and the stranger And your E5fall-by-the sword love affair with Errol Flynn In these B5times of compassion when conformity’s in fashion Say B5one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in. Well, there Bain’t no goin’ G#mback When your Efoot of pride come down Ain’t B5no goin’ back
[Verse 3]
There’s a reB5tired businessman named Red Cast B5down from heaven and he’s out of his head He B5feeds off of everyone that-a he can touch He said he B5only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash B5Not somebody that you play around with much E7 Miss Delilah is his, a Philistine is what she is She’ll doE7 wondrous works with your fate Feed you B5coconut bread, spice buns in your bed If you B5don’t mind sleepin’ with your head face down in a grave Well, there Bain’t no goin’ G#mback When your Efoot of pride come down Ain’t no goin’ B5back
[Verse 4]
Well, they’ll B5choose a man for you to meet tonight You’ll B5play the fool and learn how to walk through doors How to B5enter into the gates of paradise – no ... How to B5carry a burden too heavy to be yours Yeah, from the E7stage they’ll be tryin’ to get water outa rocks A E7whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks They like to B5take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in Sing “AB5mazing Grace” all the way to the Swiss banks Well, there Bain’t no goin’ G#mback When your Efoot of pride come down Ain’t no goin’ B5back
[Verse 5]
They got some B5beautiful people out there, man They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your B5tongue They got B5mystery written all over their forehead They kill B5babies in the crib and say only the good die young E7They don’t believe in mercy E7Judgement on them is something that you’ll never see They can eB5xalt you up or bring you down main route Turn you B5into anything that they want you to be Well, there Bain’t no goin’ G#mback When your Efoot of pride come down Ain’t no B5goin’ back
[Verse 6]
B5Yes, I guess I loved him too I can B5still see him in my mind climbin’ that hill Did he B5make 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 Just the E5dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid From B5now on, this’ll be where you’re from Let the dB5ead bury the dead. Your time will come Let hot iB5ron blow as he raised the shade There Bain’t no goin’ G#mback E When your foot of pride come down Ain’t no B5goin’ back ... oh yeah
