[Intro]
Em Am Em
[Verse 1]
Em Am Em I lost you a while ago, but still I don't know why Em Am Em C I can't say your name, without a crow flying by C Bm E Got to watch my back, now that you've turned me around Am Em Got me walking backwards, into my home-town
[Chorus]
G C G C Throw me a rope, on the rolling tide Am C/B C Am C/B C What did you want me to be, you said it's him or me Am C/B C G D C The way you made it, that's the way it will be
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em It was seven years on the Burma shore, with gatling guns and pain Em Am Em C 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
[Chorus]
G C G C Throw me a rope, on the rolling tide Am C/B C Am C/B C What did you want me to be, you said it's him or me Am C/B C G D C The way you made it, that's the way it will be
[Break]
Em Am Em
[Verse 2]
Em Am Em I've never been so disabused, I've never been so mad Em Am Em C I've 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
[Chorus]
G C G C Throw me a rope, on the rolling tide Am C/B C Am C/B C What did you want me to be, you said it's him or me Am C/B C G D C The way you made it, that's the way it will be Am C/B C Em Am Em The way you made it, that's the way it will be
