Intro: G  C  G  C  Em 

              C        Am  
Late morning, midnight 
               C      Em 
Sunny Tuesday, gloom 
              C         Am 
Silence under shutters 
                 D 
Stillness in the room 


      G          D         C 
Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, this cave's too dark for me 
        G                D                C 
I gotta go out where the wind can find my face 
           G                D     C 
And I just hope that you'll see, eventually 
           G              D              C 
That I was only trying to roll the stone away 
         G          C  G  C  Em 
Roll the stone away 


                  C        Am  
The years and the seasons 
                 C      Em 
The tide and the breeze 
                          C 
They come and bring their changes 
       Am                    D 
So you call them all your enemies 


      G          D      C 
Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, I don't think I can breathe 
        G                D            C 
And the walls get closer every single day 
               G              D             C 
And yeah, it's true I'm gonna leave, I just hope you can believe  
           G               D                C 
How hard I really tried to roll that stone away 
          G      C   G   
Roll that stone away___ 


INTERLUDE: C  G  C  G  C  Am 


Bridge: 
               C         Am 
Sorrow comes a knocking 
                        C 
But you won't let her inside 
       Am                             C 
So she goes away with Joy, her little sister 
          Am                            C           D 
But she's looking back in her tracks, a tear in her eye 


          G          D        C 
And Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, I believe it's killing me 
      G            D                C 
And I got no other words that I can say 
      G          D          C 
But I pray every night that someday you might 
G             D         C 
Find a way to roll that stone away 


          G          D        C 
And Bobby Lee, Bobby Lee, you meant the world to me 
      G                  D            C 
And I miss you more than I could ever say 
      G            D         C              G 
But I tried for so long, and no one is that strong 
             D                                C 
I think it's you who's gotta roll that stone away 
  G  D    C        G  D    C        G  D    C      G 
Roll that stone, roll that stone, roll that stone
