Intro: Am

      C             F        C        G
Well I'll tell you one thing that I know
           C               Am
You don't face your demons down
           C
You got to grab em jack
    F              G
And pin em to the ground

     Am                       C
The Devil may care, and maybe God he won't
      Am                  C                        G
You better make sure you check on the Do's and the Don'ts

C               Am
Crawl up the Mountain

To reach where the Eagles fly
  C                             Am
Sure you can glimpse from the mountaintop
           F          C           Dm
Where the soul of the muse might rise.

           C           Am
And if you put it all together
     C                  Am
You won't have to look around
F    C       Dm
You know you cast
        F            Am
A Long Shadow On the Ground

 C           F        C      G
Then one day I could tell my tracks
        C                       Am
By the holes in the soles of my shoes
    C                F
And that the day I said
                    G
I'm gonna make the news

     C               Am
And falling in the garden
    C           Am
Of days so long ago
  C               Am
Somewhere in the memory
    F    C           Dm
The sun shines on you boy

  C             Am
Playing in the Arroyos

Where the American rivers flow
  C             Am
From the Appalachians
  F          C     Dm
Down to the Delta Roads

   C                  Am
A man can't think so long

His brain could well explode
         C                      Am
There's trains running thru the junctions
  F           C        Dm
A King comes down the road

            C          Am
And if you put it all together
    C                   Am
You won't have to look around
F   C        Dm
You know you cast
        F             Am
A Long Shadow On the Ground

   G
Listen to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell
  G
Listen to the Night Streamliner
    G
Sounding like the wolves of Hell
  C           Am
Head for the water- the water of the cleansing spell
       C            Am
It was always are destination
       F              C        Dm
On the express of the Ne'er Do Wells
       C                 Am
And we rock thru Madison City
       C                         Am
And we didn't even know she was there
            C                   Am
And when we hit the Buffers in Memphis
    F                   C        Dm
And Beale street didn't have no prayer
    C                 Am              C            Am
I hear punks talk of anarchy- I hear hobos on the railroad
       C                 Am
I hear mutterings on the chain-gangs
        F             C        Dm
It was those men who built the roads

           C            Am
And if you put it all together
    C                 Am
You didn't even once relent
F   C           Dm
You cast a Long Shadow
F        G         Am
And that is your testament
F     C          Dm                           C
Somewhere in my soul, there's always Rock and Roll
