I'LL GO ON ALONE
Recorded by Marty Robbins
Words and music by Marty Robbins

CAPO: 1st FRET/KEY: Eb/PLAY: D
[D] We're travelin' down two diff'rent roads
In [G] worlds so far a-[G7] part
You [A7] want me yet there's somethin' else
Before me in your [D] heart
You're wantin' me to change my life
The [G] way you're livin' [G7] yours
But [A7] I can't change, I see no way
You wanted me be-[D] fore.

[D] If you don't want me like I am
Then [G] please don't pity [G7] me
If [A7] you can't change a little bit
Then why not set me [D] free
If we can't live together, then
It's [G] best we live a-[G7] part
You [A7] go your way and I'll go mine
We'll both make brand new [D] starts.

There's nothing we can do it seems
We'll never get along
With you believin' like you do
You say I live so wrong
But I can't change my way of life
I've lived it much too long
You'll either take me like I am
Or I'll go on alone.

So, either say you want my love
Or take the way you live
Remember though before you get
You've gotta learn to give
So, if its change my life, or go
Then go, it's gonna be
'Cause I change my life, when you
Want somethin' more than me.
