E               A    E               A 
On your way to God, did you think of me? 
E               A   E                        A  
On your way to Heaven, did you say I'll see you again?

(Ooooh, oooh, oooh, ooooh) 
F#m          A              B 
It wasn't me, why wasn't it me?  
 
Break: E 
 
E                                    A 
On your way to to the promised land, did you say  
                    E 
Oh, She was such a friend? 
E                   A 
Then they took you higher and

I don't know If I can follow...

E                
On your way, I said to the air  
A                      E 
I don't know if I am strong 
E                    
So I climbed to the mountain  
    A                       E 
And I don't know what I did wrong  
 
F#m                    A                B 
Cause' it was just me, just little ole' me... 
 
Outro: E A B
