[Verse]
         G                              
Well the first days are the hardest days
          C     G      
Don't you worry anymore
                 G                     
'cause when life looks like Easy Street
C                       G   
There is danger at your door
Am                      Em
Think this through with me
C                D   
Let me know your mind
C    D         G    D  C   
Woah oh what I want to know
G D          G   
■ Is are you kind
       G                             
It's a buck dancer's choice my friend
C              G     
Better take my advice
G                            
You know all the rules by now
        C             G  
And the fire from the ice
Am                 Em
Will you come with me
C                   D 
Won't you come with me
C    D         G       C    G
Woah oh what I want to know ■
D        G           
Will you come with me


[Chorus]
               C      
Goddamn well I declare
Am       Em   G   D   
Have you seen the like
C                                     
■ Their walls are built of cannonballs
G           D  C              D 
Their motto is don't tread on me
G                      C   
Come hear uncle John's band
Am      G      D   
Playing to the tide
C                       
Come with me or go alone
G            D    C            D   
He's come to take his children home

[Verse]
G                                   
It's the same story the crow told me
         C    G           
It's the only one he knows
         G                   
Like the morning sun you come
C                     G 
And like the wind you go
Am                  Em  
■  Ain't no time to hate
C              D   
Barely time to wait
C    D         G           
Woah oh what I want to know
D              G      
Where does the time go
Bm G                        
■  ■ I live in a silver mine
      C       G            
And I call it Beggar's Tomb
G                
I got me a violin
          C   G            
And I beg you call the tune


[Chorus]
Am Em              
■  Anybody's choice
      C         D    
I can hear your voice
C    D         G       C   
Woah oh what I want to know
G   D    G          
How does the song go
                       C   
Come hear uncle John's band
Am     G         D C
By the riverside ■ ■
         C                   
Got some things to talk about
G    D      C          D   
Here beside the rising tide
G                        C   
■ Come hear uncle John's band
G              D    C
Playing to the tide ■
        C                
Come on along or go alone
G            D                     
He's come to take his children home
