Intro:   Em    Am   Em 

  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
