[D] [G] Well the first days are the hardest days, don't [C] you [G] worry anymore.
Cause when life looks like easy street, [C] there is danger [G] at your door.
[Am] Think this through [Em] with me, let me know [D] you're mine.
[Em]
[D] [G] What I want to know [D] is [G] are you kind?
It's a buck dancers choice, my friends [C] better take [G] my advice.
You know all the rules by now [C] and look by it [G] from the eyes.
[Am] Will you come with [Em] me?
[C] Won't you come [D] with me?
[Em] [D] Oh, oh, [G] I want to know, [D] will you [G]
come with me?
God damn, will I declare, [A] [Em] have you [D] seen the like?
[C] Their walls are built of cans and [G] bombs, them [D] [C] motherfuckers don't [D] tread on me.
[G] Come hear Uncle [C] John [Am] Fred [G] playing to [D] the type.

home.

It's the same story, the code, only it's [C] the only [G] one to know.
Like the morning sun, you come [C] and like [G] the wind, you go.
[Am] Ain't no time [Em] to hate, barely time to [D] wait.
[G] Oh, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?
I live in a silver mine [C] and I [G] call it Vegas too.
I got me a violin [C] and I beg you [G] call too.
[Am]
[Em] Anybody's choice, [C] I can hear [D] your voice.
[G] Oh, oh, what I want to know, [D] how [G] does the song go?
Come hear [Em] Uncle John Fred by the [D]
riverside.
[C] Got some things to talk [G] about here [D] beside [Em] the [D] rising tide.
[G] Come hear Uncle John Fred playing to the [D] type.
[C] Come alone, don't go alone, [G] he's [D] come to [A] take his [D] children home.
