intro : Em Am
Em Am Em
i lost you a while ago , but still i don’t know why
Em Am Em
i can’t say your name , without a crow flying by
C Bm E
got to watch my back , now that you’ve turned me A – round
Am Em
got me walking backwards , in my home – town

G C G C
throw me a rope , on the rolling tide
Am C/B C Am C/B C
what did you want me to be , he said it’s him or me
Am C G D C
the way you made it , that’s the way it will be

Em Am Em
it was seven years on the burnin’ shore , with gatling guns and paint
Em Am Em
working the lowlands door – to – door , like a latter day saint
C Bm E
then you turn me out , at the top of the stairs
Am Em
you took all the glory , that you just couldn’t share

Em Am Em
i’ve never been so disabused , i’ve never been so mad
Em Am Em
i’ve never been served anything , that tasted so bad
C Bm E
you might need a friend , any day now any day
Am Em
oh my brother be careful , you are driftin’ away

G C G C
throw me a rope , on the rolling tide
Am C/B C Am C/B C
what did you want me to be , he said it’s him or me
Am C G D C
the way you made it , that’s the way it will be
Am C G
the way you made it , that’s the way it will be
