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

Chorus
A            B                E
It wasn't me, why wasn't it me?

On your way to the promised land
Did you say, "Oh, she was such a friend"?
Then they took you higher
And I don't know if I can follow

Chorus:
It wasn't me, why wasn't it me?

On your way, I said to the air:
"I don't know if I am strong"
So, I climbed to the mountain
And I don't know what I did wrong

And it was just me
Just a little ol' me
