You see I?m not gonna wait till the end of me

verse 2
I saw the light from a kettle gun
16 days under a Southern Sun
And there were times when I thought that
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there
You wouldn't believe me if I told you so
The things I saw were enough to make the man in me a man in me
Mmm make a man of me
F
So come on, come on I?m ready now
G
Go get your things out honey, let?s get ready to roll...
F
Oh I can feel the wave coming over me
G
I?ve been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go...
BRIDGE
F
As a child I was wonder-eyed
Am
At the thought that I might know
F C G
A life in the ecstasy of rock?n'roll O-oh-oh ...
F
Now taking it slow... I?m an arrow in a bow...
G
You?d think that I would know... What it is that makes me roll...
