Old friend, 
      Fadd4    Em       Dm        Am      G 
your horse is ready to ride when morning comes. 
C                 C7 
From this church town, 
       Fadd4   Em      Dm       Am   G        G/Ab 
where damning rumors drip from holy tongues. 

Am       C     Fadd4 
It wont go away. 
Am       C     Fadd4 
It wont go away. 
Am       C     Fadd4 Em Dm Am G 
It wont go away... 

C     C7      Fadd4   Em       Dm       Am       G 
The fever to find a scapegoat fast and fix the blame. 
C    C7      Fadd4  Em       Dm       Am      G     G/Ab 
I know, you never meant to leave the way you came. 

Am       C     Fadd4 
It wont go away. 
Am       C     Fadd4 
It wont go away.

It wont go away... 

Em      F                C                C7 
Lookin down from there stained glass steeple. 
Em              F    C             G 
They'll never know why you had to run. 

Am                   C                       Fadd4 
Ride as fast as you can, they're shootin to kill... 
Am                   C                       Fadd4
