[Verse 1]
Am DSisyphus peered into the mist
G CA stone’s throw from the precipice, paused
Am D GDid he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
C Am D GDid he raise both fists and say, “To hell with this” and just let the rock roll?
 
[Chorus]
Am D G C..Let it roll, let it crash down low
F B7 Em E7There’s a house down there but I lost it long ago……
Am D G C..Let it roll, let it crash down low
F B7 EmSee my house down there but I lost it long ago

[Post-Chorus]
G F CWell, I let the rock roll on down to the town below
G F E7We had a house down there but I lost it long ago
AmLost it long ago
D GNa na na na na na na
Am D G…Na na na na na na na
Am D G..I’m letting it roll away
C FIt’s got nothing to Do with fate
B7 EmAnd everything to Do with you
 
[Verse 2]
Am D GI’d rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god, I’m a lightning rod
CHistory forgets the moderates
Am D G C Am D……………For those who sit recalcitrant and taciturn
G CYou know I’d rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah
Am D G C…………..
AmWhere’s my accomplice?
D GSo take my hand, we’ll Do more than stand
CTake my hand, we’ll claim this land
Am D G..Take my hand, and we’ll let the rock roll
 
[Chorus]
