Sisyphus peered into the mist 
          Bb                        Eb 
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused 
       Cm                         F 
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed 
                      Bb 
Into the maw of the morning mist? 
       Gm               
Did he raise both fists and say 
   Cm                   F                 Bb 
To hell with this, and just let the rock roll? 

Cm      F           Bb         Eb  
Let it roll, let it crash down low 
          Ab                     D7           Gm  G7 
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago 
Cm     F            Bb         Eb 
Let it roll, let it crash down low 
       Ab                     D7        
See my house down there but I lost it long ago

        Bb                   Ab               Eb 
Well, I let the rock roll on down to the town below 
         Bb                     Ab            G7 
We had a house down there but I lost it long ago 
G7           Cm 
Lost it long ago 
       F          Bb

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na 
Cm   F              Bb 
I'm letting it roll Away 
         Eb                 Ab 
It's got nothing to do with fate 
    D7                    Gm    G7  
And everything to do with you 
           Cm                      F 
I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail 
                  Bb           
Like a God, I'm a lightning rod 
        Gm                   Cm  F  Bb  Gm 
History forgets the moderates 
              Cm                    F 
For those who sit recalcitrant and taciturn 
          Bb 
You know I'd rather turn and burn 
                Gm           Cm  F  Bb  Gm 
Than scale this edifice, yeah 
             Cm       
Where's my accomplice? 

    F                               Bb 
So take my hand, we'll do more than stand 
                    Gm              Cm 
Take my hand, we'll claim this land 
                    F                   Bb  G7 
Take my hand, and we'll let the rock roll 
Cm     F            Bb         Eb 
Let it roll, let it crash down low 
          Ab                     D7             Gm  G7 
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago
