 Am             D
Sisyphus peered into the mist

             G                       C
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused

        Am                        D                         G
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?

        C                             Am                     D              G
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?
[Chorus]
Am        D             G         C
  Let it roll, let it crash down low

           FM7/A                  B7             Em  E  Am
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago

        D             G         C
Let it roll, let it crash down low

        FM7/A                  B7            Em
See my house down there but I lost it long ago

                 G            FM7/A              C
Well, I let the rock roll on down to the town below

           G                     FM7/A         E
We had a house down there but I lost it long ago

               Am
Lost it long ago

    D          G      E  Am
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

   D           G   E  Am
Na-na-na-na-na-na

      D               G
I'm letting it roll away

It's got nothing to do with fate

       B7                   Em   E E
And everything to do with you
[Verse 2]
            Am                       D                    G
I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god on a lightning rod

            C                   Am  D  G   C
History forgets the moderates

               Am
For those who sit

                   D
Recalcitrant and taciturn

               G                         C                       Am  D  G   C
You know I'd rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah

             Am
Where's my accomplice?

     D                                G
So take my hand, we'll do more than stand

                      C
Take my hand, we'll claim this land

  Am                D                 G
Take my hand, and we'll let the rock roll
[Chorus]
Am        D             G         C
  Let it roll, let it crash down low

Let it roll, let it crash down low

See my house down there but I lost it long ago

 A             Dm
Lost it long ago
[Post-Chorus]
   G           C     A  Dm
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

   G           C    Dm
Na-na-na-na-na-na

      G              C
I'm letting it roll away
