[Verse]

  G                                
Oh, the first days are the hardest 
                  C        G
days, don't you worry any more,
  G                             
'Cause when life looks like Easy 
                   C             G
Street there is danger at your door.
 Am                    Em    C   
Think this through with me; let 
             D
me know your mind.
 C    D          G       D   C  
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh,
G    D       G
 is are you kind.
 G                             
It's a buck dancer's choice, my 
                 C       G
friend, better take my advice;
 G                                 
You know all the rules by now, and 
     C             G
the fire from the ice.
 Am                Em   C        
Will you come with me, won't you 
          D
come with me?
 C   D           G       D   C  
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh,
  G    D        G
 will you come with me?

 G                  C G    Am   
God damn! Well I declare!  Have 
     G        D
you seen the like?
 D     C               
Their walls are built of 
                      G    D      
cannonballs, their motto is "Don't
    C       D
 tread on me".
 G                      C    Am  
Come hear Uncle John's band 
   G       D
playing to the  tide,
 C                             G  
Come with me or go alone, he's 
      D       C        D
come to take his children home

[Verse]

 G                               
It's the same story the crow told 
              C            G
me, it's the only one he knows;
 G                                 
Like the morning sun you come, and 
 C                G
like the wind you go.
Am               Em     C       
Ain't no time to hate, barely 
       D
time to wait.
 C    D          G    D    C    
Whoa-oh, what I want know-oh, 
G    D        G
where does the time go?
G                              C 
I live in a silver mine and I 
               G
call it Beggar's Tomb;
G                          C     
I've got me a violin and I beg 
          G
you, call a tune.
Am         Em     C              
Anybody's choice, I can hear your 
  D
voice.
 C   D           G       D   C  
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh,
  G    D       G
 how does the song go?
