Intro:
Am F (x2)
Verse 1:
Am F Am F
Broken glass, rusty nails,
Am Dm Am E7
Where the wild violets grow.
Am F
Say good-bye to the railroad,
Am F
The mad dogs of summer,
Am E7 Am
And every-thing that I know.
Chorus 1:
F Am
What some men will do here for diamonds,
F Am
What some men will do here for gold.
F Am
They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
F E7
And sleep by the side of the road.
Bridge 1:
Am Dm
There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb,
E7
Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime.
Am Dm
Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green,
Am E7 Am
Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.
Interlude:
Am F (x2)
Verse 2:
Am F Am F
Small-time Na-poleon's shattered his knees,
Am Dm Am E7
But he stays in the saddle for Rose.
Am F Am F
And all his dis-ciples, they shave in the gutter,
Am E7 Am
And they gather what's left of his clothes.
Chorus 2:
F Am
What some men will do here for diamonds,
F Am
What some men will do here for gold.
F Am
They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
F E7
And sleep by the side of the road.
