Chords for Laurie Lewis sings "Going Away"

_ Sad news for me, sad news for many of us this last week.
_ _ One of my heroes, [F#] UU Tuff Phillips, [A#] passed away _ _
[A] a week ago on Friday, [B] I think. _
And he'd been dealing with congestive heart failure for 10 years,
so he did a pretty good job of hanging in with it for a long [B] time.
And I _ just [A] been thinking about him a lot, [B] thinking about the many great songs he left behind
for us [E] to sing and the many incredible [Bm] tales he used to tell. _ _ _
[G] _ And I'd like to do a song that he wrote.
We [A] haven't really played it much.
In fact, [D] we've played it about halfway through [A] one time.
We'll see what [G] happens.
_ If we stop in the middle, you'll understand.
_ [Em] _ _ _ He wrote this song for one of his heroes,
a guy named Ammon Hennessy, who, he said, taught him
_ pacifism and community [Cm] organizing and
[B] _ _ _ [Gm] also many [C] lessons like
_ [A] never, never [A#] have living [C] heroes.
_ Just wait till they [F#] die so that you can make sure [A#] they don't screw up
_ _ [Bm] _ [Dm] before you pronounce them a hero.
[D#] So I will pronounce right now [C] UU Tuff Phillips as one of my big heroes.
[B] _ _ [B] It was safe to do a [F#] long time ago.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _
This song is called Going [G] Away.
_ Utah said he wrote it.
_ _ [C#] Originally, he put it, [D#m] _ he wrote it as if it were to a woman because he [F#] figured that [Bm] maybe
people [D] wouldn't understand that he [B] was singing to
_ _ this hero [A#] of his, Ammon Hennessy.
[Bm] So _ he said, it's up to [D#] us now to [N] change the, _
_ _ change it to you instead of her.
So I'm doing that, sending that to Utah.

_ _ _ Is that the moon I [E]
see
_ _ _ shining there in the [B] _ _ west
just a headlights [E] gleam
_ the CNO [B] express
_ _ _ I know [E] you're _ gone
_ whatever _
[B] I say
_ and it [E] won't be long _ _ _ _
till [B] I make [F#] _ up [E] my mind
_ _ to go [B]
away
_ _ _ is that the sun [E] coming up
_ on the [B] eastern shore
_ _ or [B] just the cold [E] beds gleam
_ _ _ on the [A] firebox door
_ _ I know you're _ [E] gone
_ _ whatever _ [B] I say
_ _ and it won't be [E] _ long _ _ _
[B] till I _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#m] make up my [E] mind
_ _ _ to [B] go away _ _ _ _ _ _
see that man
he can't hear the whistle
blind old fool's [G#m] caught
out on the [C#] trestle
he can't move up
[A#m] he [C#] can't move back
[F#] the train captain come and pushed him off the train
_ _ _ other storms [E] may blow
_ _ and the wind may [B] _ rise
_ still I [E] long to go
_ _ where the fast mail flies
[B] _ _ _ _ [Bm] I know [E] you're gone
_ _ whatever _
[B] I say
_ [B] and it [E] won't be long
_ _ till [B] I _ [F#] make _ [C#] up [E] my mind
_ _ _ and go [B]
away
