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


[Chorus]
Cm                    Bb         Eb 
■  Let it roll let it crash down low
          Ab                   D7             G7 
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago
G        F           Bb         Eb 
■ Let it roll let it crash down low
    Ab                  D7            G         
See my house down there but I lost it ■ long ago

[Chorus]
       Bb                   Ab               Eb   
Well I let the rock roll on down to the town below
         Bb               Ab                 G  
We had a house down there but I lost it long ago
             Cm 
Lost it long ago

I'm ■  ■  letting ■  ■  it roll away
         Eb                 Ab     
It's got nothing to do with ■  fate
D7                        G   G7 G
And everything to do with you ■  ■
           G7                
I'd rather fail like a mortal
     F                     Bb           
Than flail like a god on a lightning rod
Eb                           
History forgets the moderates

[Verse]
          Cm                   F           
For those who sit recalcitrant and taciturn
         Bb                      
You know I'd rather turn and burn
     Eb                 Cm   F
Than scale this edifice yeah ■
Bb Eb Cm                   
■  ■  Where's my accomplice
   F7                              Bb   
So take my hand we'll do more than stand
                   Eb             
Take my hand we'll claim this land
Cm               F                  Bb  
Take my hand and we'll let the rock roll


[Chorus]
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 ■

■  Let it roll let it crash down low
       Ab                     G            Cm  C7
See my house down there but I lost it long ago ■ 
             F  
Lost it long ago
    Eb      F Bb Eb             
I'm letting ■ ■  ■  it roll away
