[Verse]
GCG
Oh, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more,
GCG
'Cause when life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door.
AmEmCD
Think this through with me; let me know your mind.
CDGDCGDG
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh, is are you kind.
GCG
It's a buck dancer's choice, my friend, better take my advice;
GCG
You know all the rules by now, and the fire from the ice.
AmEmCD
Will you come with me, won't you come with me?
CDGDCGDG
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh, will you come with me?
[Refrain]
GCGAmGD
God damn! Well I declare! Have you seen the like?
DCGDCD
Their walls are built of cannonballs, their motto is "Don't tread on me".
GCAmGD
Come hear Uncle John's band playing to the tide,
CGDCD
Come with me or go alone, he's come to take his children home
[Instrumental]

GCG
It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows;
GCG
Like the morning sun you come, and like the wind you go.
AmEmCD
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait.
CDGDCGDG
Whoa-oh, what I want know-oh, where does the time go?
GCG
I live in a silver mine and I call it Beggar's Tomb;
GCG
I've got me a violin and I beg you, call a tune.
AmEmCD
Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice.
CDGDCGDG
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh, how does the song go?
[Refrain]
GCAmGD
Come hear Uncle John's band by the riverside
CGDCD
Got some things to talk about here beside the rising tide.
GCAmGD
Come hear Uncle John's band playing to the tide
CGDCD
Come on along or go alone, he's come to take his children home.
[Instrumental]
