  			 Em 
Take me on up to Zion 
             A 
Where I can lay my burden down 
Em 
Everything's on fire 
           A 
Ain't no peace in this crazy town 
Em 
Take me on up to Zion 
           A 
Where my Lord will comfort me 
         Em 
He will lay me down by still water 
           A                    C 
While my enemies run from me 

             G 
They gonna run 
         D 
Run from me 
           Am7 
You will see 
           C 
See them run 
       G 
Far away 
      D 
From me 

Em 
Take me on up to Zion 
                A 
Think I gotta psalm 

Runnin' throught my head 
 Em 
Bring me over to King David 
              A 
Gonna sing it now for all my friends 
Em 
Take me on up to Zion 
           A 
Where no harm shall come to me 
     Em 
No fire will light upon my cloak 
         A                    C 
And the sons of iniquity 

             G 
They gonna run 
         D 
Run from me 
           Am7 
You will see 
           C 
See them run 
       G 
Far away 
      D 
From me 

            Em   A     Em   A 
He's gonna run 

C 
Take me on up to Zion 
             D 
Where I can lay my burdens down 
Em 
Oh everything's on fire 
           A 
Ain't no peace in this crazy town 
Em 
Take me on up to Zion 
                            A 
To that secret place in my heart 
Em 
Where even Satan don't dare to stand too long 
                 A              C 
When he sees that temple guard 
(Em A Em A Em A) 
He's gonna run
