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
And Cthat the day I saFid
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
The Fsun sChines on youDm boy
C Am
Playing in the Arroyos
Where the American rivers flow
C Am
From the Appalachians
DoFwn to the DCelta RDmoads
C Am
A man can’t think so long
His brain could well explode
C Am
There’s trains running thru the junctions
A FKing comes dCown the rDmoad
C Am
And if you put it all together
You Cwon’t have to lookAm around
FYou Cknow you Dmcast
A Long SFhadow On the GAmround
LisGten to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell
LiGsten to the Night Streamliner
SounGding like the wolves of Hell
HeCad for the wAmater- the water of the cleansing spell
It was Calways are deAmstination
On the Fexpress of the CNe’er DDmo Wells
And we Crock thru Madison AmCity
And we Cdidn’t even know she wasAm there
And when we Chit the Buffers in MAmemphis
And FBeale street didn’Ct have noDm prayer
I heCar punks talk of aAmnarchy- I hear hCobos on the rAmailroad
I hear Cmutterings on the Amchain-gangs
It was tFhose men who bCuilt the Dmroads
And if you Cput it all toAmgether
You Cdidn’t even onceAm relent
FYou Ccast a Long DmShadow
FAnd that Gis your teAmstament
FSomewhCere in my sDmoul, there’s always Rock anCd Roll
