[Intro] Em  Am  Em

Em                      Am                        Em
  I lost you awhile 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
  Gotta watch my back,  Now that you turned me around
Am                                       Em
  Got me walking backwards, Into my hometown

  G         C               G      C
Throw me a rope,  On the rolling tide
Am             C/B        C   Am             C/B    C
  What did you want it to be?  You 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 burma 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

  G         C               G      C
Throw me a rope,  On the rolling tide
Am             C/B        C   Am             C/B    C
  What did you want it to be?  You 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
  I never been so disabused,  Never been so mad
Em                            Am                 Em
  I 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 drifting 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 it to be?  You 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     D C
The way you made it,   That's the way it will be
    Am              C                          G     Em
The way you made it,   That's the way it will be
