[rugshort]

Em I lost you awhile ago Am

But still I don't know why Em

I can't say your name Am

Without a crow flying Em by C

Gotta watch my Bm back now

That you turned me aEround Am

Got me walking backwards

Into my homeEmtown

[rugshort]

G Throw me a C rope

On the G rolling C tide Am

What did you C/B want it to C be?Am

You said it's C/B him or C me

The Am way you made it C

That's the way it will G be D C

[John Juhant]

this is the way it will be right?

[Fluticus]

Fab.

[rugshort]

CHORUS

The Am way you C/B made it C

That's the way it will be Em Am Em

[rugshort]

He was Em seven years on the burma shore Am With gatling guns and Em paint Working the lowlands door-to-door Am like a Latter Day Em Saint C Then you turn me Bm out at the top of the E stairs Am You took all the glory that you just couldn't Em share CHORUS Em I never been so disabused Am never been so Em mad I never been served anything Am that tasted so Em bad C You might need a Bm friend any day now, any E day Am Oh, my brother, be careful you are drifting aEmway
