Intro: A 

A 
Been washing the blood off the lamb 

And I washed blood off of my hands 
      E                      A 
And I can't do a damn thing about it 

Been taught to love but I love to hate 

And my Mama tried for Heaven's sake 
  E                      A 
I can't do a damn thing about it 

       D                 A 
It's a damn shame that I can't change 
        E                   A 
I can't undo everything I'd like to 
        D                A 
So I'll roll on and I'll shout it 
      E                      A 
Cos I can't do a damn thing about it 

A 
I work all day I love all night 

Trying to keep a whip in time 
      E                      A 
But I can't do a damn thing about it 

Waiting so well he spins around 

Can't settle up can't settle down 
      E                      A 
And I can't do a damn thing about it  

       D                 A 
It's a damn shame that I can't change 
        E                   A 
I can't undo everything I'd like to 
        D                A 
So I'll roll on and I'll shout it 
      E                      A 
Cos I can't do a damn thing about it 

Roll on 

A E A E A 

A 
Well hearts and pick up trucks break down 

Tyres go flat and boys run round 
      E                      A 
And I can't do a damn thing about it 

You can get down or you can get out of here 

I'll just pray to God we've got enough beer 
   E                    A 
To last us until the morning 


One Two Three 

       D                 A 
It's a damn shame that I can't change 
        E                   A 
I can't undo everything I'd like to 
        D                A 
So I'll roll on and I'll shout it 
      E                      A 
Cos I can't do a damn thing about it 

     E                              A 
No I can't do a damn thing about it
