Well you can Em ride on the crest of a wave,
If that's w D here you want to be,
But does the l Em ook on your face,
Mean you're really feeling h D appy?
Or do you Em feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
Or a p A oor man much to proud to beg,
Or a p C age from a book that D can't be read at all?
You gotta see by the way that they are talking,
That it's time for you to pick up your grip... start walking,
'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying,
Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and,
Don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all.
Chorus:
Dsus2 They wo C#/Dsus2 n't be satisfi B/Dsus2 ed, B/Dsus2
Dsus2 Till you're C#/Dsus2 out of their s B/Dsus2 ight, B/Dsus2
Dsus2 But I wonder C#/Dsus2 how will they B/Dsus2 feel, B/Dsus2
Dsus2 With a deck of c C#sus2 ards,
C/Dsus2 And you're not around to C/Dsus2 deal.... yeah.
Well, they say it's a lie, a joke that you are living,
But you know one thing they don't, you won't give in.
'Cause you're like a cat, chasin' its tail,
Makes a million circles, but you're gonna fail,
Look down you just don't understand.
Well you can ride on the crest of a wave,
If that's where you want to be,
But does the look on your face,
Mean you're really feeling happy?
Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
A poor man much to proud to beg,
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
Or a poor man much to proud to beg,
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
Read at all.
Rory Gallagher
