THE WAY IT WILL BE
INTRO: Em Am
Em Am Em
I lost you a while ago, But still I don't know why
Em Am Em
I can't say your name, Without a crow flying by
C Bm E
Got to watch my back, Now that you've turned me a-round
Am Em
Got me walking backwards, In my home-town
G C G C
Throw me a rope, On the rolling tide
Am C/B C Am C/B C
What did you want me to be, He said it's him or me
Am C G D C
The way you made it, That's the way it will be
Em Am Em
It was seven years on the burnin' shore, With gatling guns and paint
Em Am Em
Working the lowlands door-to-door, Like a latter day saint
C Bm E
Then you turn me out, At the top of the stairs
Am Em
You took all the glory, That you just couldn't share
Em Am Em
I've never been so disabused, I've never been so mad
Em Am Em
I've never been served anything, That tasted so bad
C Bm E
You might need a friend, Any day now any day
Am Em
Oh my brother be careful, You are driftin' away
G C G C
Throw me a rope, On the rolling tide
Am C/B C Am C/B C
What did you want me to be, He said it's him or me
Am C G D C
The way you made it, That's the way it will be
Am C G
The way you made it, That's the way it will be
