Over Yonder (Jonathan's Song)
By Steve Earle
Intro Chords:
E A E B
E A
The warden said he'd mail my letter
E B
The chaplain's waitin' by the door
E A
Tonight we'll cross the yard together
E B
Then they can't hurt me anymore
Chorus:
E B7 C#m G#m
Cause I am going over yonder
A E B
Where no ghost can follow me
E A
There's another place beyond here
E B
Where I'll be free, I believe
Give my radio to Johnson
Thibodeaux can have my fan
Just send my Bible home to Mama
Call her every now and then
Chorus
I suppose I got it comin'
I can't ever pay enough
All my rippin' and a-runnin'
I hurt everyone I loved
The world'll turn around without me
The sun'll come up in the east
Shinin' down on all of them that hate me
I hope my goin' brings 'em peace
Chorus
