Goin’ Away
Wayne James

Chorus

  C                G             C         F

I'm goin’ away, I'm leaving today

         C        G              C   G

I'm goin’ away for to stay

         C        G              C           F

I'm goin’ away, not much I can say

         C        G              C

Just goin’ away for to stay

  C                                                       G

I've spent near all my younger years upon the rugged shore

  F                                         Am                         G

Today I will be leavin’ now, I won't be back no more

  C                                          G    

I look around and all I see are memories of the past

 F                                        Am                              G

Memories of family and friends who've not come back

Chorus

I've settled in another place much different than my home

Have a wife and family, two children of my own

I get up early every day and go to earn my pay

But I often wonder about my home far away

Chorus / Instrumental

As the years go passing by into my middle age

I often sit and reminisce about my younger days

I'll not return again upon that rugged shore

I recall the day I left and not return no more

Chorus / Acca pella / Chorus
