E                                          G           D       E

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

    E                                              G             D     E

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



 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

On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the

						A			

						weight of lead

			 



E                                G          D          E

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

E                                      G          D     E

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

								



  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 but I guess they always will.

      E                                       G           D         A

Well, I don't know, but I've been 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                                     G         D          E

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

     E                                   G        D        E

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

E                                          G           D

Now I don't know but I've been told if the horse don't pull you got to 

A

carry the load.

E                                      G          D      A

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



E                                                                 G

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

    D      G 

has got to give.
