[D] [Bb]
[G]
All right, we're going to play a new song now.
[Gm]
[F] [Cm]
[Gm]
I lost you a while [C] ago
[Cm] Still I don't know [Gm]
why
I can't say your name
[Cm]
Got a crow [Gm] flying by
[Eb]
Gotta watch [Dm] my back
Now that you turned [G] me around
[Gm] [Cm] Got me walking backwards
Into my [Gm] hometown
Throw [Bb] me [Eb] a rope
[Bb] On the rolling [Eb] tide
What
[C] did [Gm] you want it to [Eb] be?
You
[Cm] said [Dm] it's him or [Eb] me
The
[Cm] way you made [Eb] it
That's the way it will [Bb] be
[Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] We were seven years on the Burma [C] shore
[Cm] Gatling guns and [Gm] pain
Working the lowlands door to [Dm] door
[Cm] Like a ladder, do you [Gm]
see?
[Eb]
Then you [Dm] turned me out
At the top [Bb] of the [G] stairs
[Bb] You [Cm]
took all the glory
[F]
[Cm] That you just couldn't [Gm]
shake
Throw [Bb]
me [Eb] a rope
[Bb] On the rolling [Eb] tide
What [Cm]
did [Dm] you want it [Eb] to be?
[Cm]
You said [Dm] it's him or [Eb] me
The [Cm] way you made [Eb] it
That's the way [Bb] it will be
[F] [Eb] I've
[Gm]
never been so [Cm] disabused
I've never been so [G]
[Gm] mad
[C] I've [Gm]
never been served anything
[Cm]
That tasted so [Gm] bad
You [Eb]
might [Dm] need a friend
Any day now, any [G]
day
[Gm] Oh [Cm] my brother be careful
You are drifting [Gm] away
[Bb] Throw me [Eb] a rope
[Bb] On the rolling [Eb] tide
[Cm]
What [Dm] did you want it [Eb] to be?
[Gm] [Cm]
You said [Dm] it's him or [Eb] me
The [Cm] way you made [Eb] it
That's the way it [Bb] will be
[F] The [Eb]
[Gm] [Bb] [C]
way [Cm] you [Bb] made [Eb] it
That's the way [Gm] it will be
[Cm] [F] [Gm]
