from the bands website;

E F#m B7 A/C# E
ollie told me i’m a fool . so i
A Bm A/C# D
walked on down the road a mile , went to the house that brings a smile
F# Bm E D G
sat upon my grandpa’s knee , and what do you think he said to me?

( chorus : )
C Am C/G F
when you awake you will remember ev’rything , you will be
D7 C G C C/B Am C/G F
hangin’ on a string from your . . . when you believe , you will relieve the only soul
F D7 C G C B
that you were born with to grow old and never know

ollie showed me the fork in the road .
you can take to the left or go straight to the right ,
use your days and save your nights ,
be careful where you step , and watch wha – cha eat ,
sleep with the light on and you got it beat .

( repeat chorus )

ollie warned me it’s a mean old world ,
the street don’t greet ya , yes , it’s true;
but what Am i supposed to do :
read the writing on the wall ,
i heard itwhen i was very small .

( repeat chorus )

E F#m
wash my hand in lye water , i got a date with the
E F#m
captains daughter . you can go and tell your brother . we sure gonna
E F#m
love one another , oh! you
E F#m
may be right and ya might be wrong , i ain’t gonna worry all day long .

E F#m
snow’s gonna come and the frost gonna bite , my old car froze
E F#m
up last night . ain’t no reason to hang your head i could wake up in the
E F#m
mornin’ dead . oh! and
E F#m
if i thought it would do any good , i’d stand on the rock where moses stood .
