   E                                             E             
Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothin' new to say.

   E                                                  E                  
And if you please, don't back up the tracks, this train's got to run today.

    E                           E7                E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.

E                                 G             D            A
Like some say, better run away; others say you better stand still.

    E                                      G       D             A
Now I don't know but I been told that it's hard to run with the weight of gold

       E                                    G       D            A
On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the weight of lead

  E                                    E                 
Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change of style.

   E                                                  E      
One step done and another begun, and I wonder how many miles.

     E                          E7                E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.

E                                             G        D         A
Things went down you don't understand, but I think in time you will.

    E                                      G            D        A
Now I don't know, but I was told,  in the heat of the sun a man died of cold.

       E                                    G       D            A
Keep on comin' or stand and wait, with the sun so dark and the hour so late.

  E                                    E                      
You can't overlook the lack, Jack, of any other highway to ride,

   E                                                  E        
It's got no signs or dividing lines, and very few rules to guide.

      E                         E7                E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.

E                                     G       D         A
I saw things getting out of hand ,I guess they always will.

    E                                         G            D            A
Now I don't know but I've been told, if the horse don't pull you got to carry the load

       E                                    G       D       A
I don't know whose back`s that strong; maybe find out before too long.

One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness

    D      E
has got to give.
