[Verse 1]
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 C FM7/A 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 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 E Am See my house down there but I lost it long ago A Dm Lost it long ago
