Danko / Manuel chords

CAPO 2

The B in the chorus is best as a single note - more like a walk-down


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
