C                           Em 
Let the night air cool you off. 
C                              Em 
Tilt your head back and try to cough. 
D                              Am 
Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw. 
C                           Em 
Let the night air cool you off. 

C                      Em 
I ain't living like I should. 
C                          Em 
A little rest might do me good. 
D                         Am 
Got to sinking in the place where I once stood. 
C                          Em 
Now I ain't living like I should. 

D                          C      B    Em 
Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold. 
        D                       C B Em 
Maybe I can only hear it in my head. 
D                    C      B    Em 
Fifteen years ago we owned that road 
         A                    C 
now it's rolling over us instead. 
                    Em 
Richard Manuel is dead. 

C                          Em 
God forbid you call their bluff. 
C                          Em 
Like the nightmares ain't enough. 
D                           Am 
Remember when we used to think that we were tough? 
C                          Em 
God forbid you call their bluff. 

C                          Em 
First they make you out to be 
C                      Em 
the only pirate on the sea. 
D                              Am 
Then they say Danko would have sounded just like me. 
C                            Em 
'Is that the man you want to be?' 

D                          C      B    Em 
Can you hear that song? It sounds like gold. 
        D                         C B Em 
Maybe I could make it bigger overseas. 
D                    C     B    Em 
Fifteen years ago we owned this road 
         A                               C 
now it only gives us somewhere else to leave. 
                            Em 
Something else you can't believe. 

D                          C      B    Em 
Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold. 
        D                              C B Em 
Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave 
D                          C   B   Em 
singin' where to reap and when to sow 
              A                               C 
when you've found another home you have to leave. 
                            Em 
Something else you can't believe
