Rush - Tom Sawyer: chords

   E
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
               D E A E C
Mean mean pride.

E
Though his mind is not for rent,
D
Don't put him down as arrogant.
A
His reserve, a quiet defense,
C                           C G A
Riding out the day's events.
C    G A E D E A C B A G F# E
The river

Chorus:
      E      F#             G    A
And what you say about his company
     E       C         B    A
Is what you say about society.
 E         F#    G         A
Catch the mist, catch the myth
 E         C        B          A
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

     B
The world is, the world is,
 A        G        B
Love and life are deep,
 A           G    A     E
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

   E
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

Chorus:
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

     B
The world is, the world is,
 A        G         B
Love and life are deep,
 A            G    A   E
Maybe as his eyes are wide.

  E
Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
