The Band - When You Awake: chords

E     F#m    B7  A/C# E
Ollie told me I'm  a fool. So I
 A                  Bm
walked on down the road a mile,
 A/C#                    D
Went to the house that brings a smile
F#           Bm
Sat upon my grandpa's knee,
      E                   D       G
And what do you think he said to me?

Chorus:
C                          Am    C/G  F
When You Awake you will remember ev'rything,
You will be
D7      C       G
hangin' on a string from your
C                     C/B    Am        C/G   F
When you believe, You will relieve the only soul
F              D7        C      G               C  B
That you were born with to grow old and never know

Ole showed me the fork in the road
You can take to the left or go straight to the right
Use your days and save your nights
Be careful where you step, and watch what ya eat
Sleep with a light and you got it beat

Chorus

Ole warned me, it's a mean old world
The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true
But what am I supposed to do
Read the writing on the wall
I heard it when I was very small

Chorus

E                         F#m
Wash my hand in lye water, I got a date with the
                  E
captains daughter. You can go and tell your brother.
F#m
We sure gonna
                  E  F#m
love one another, Oh!  You
 E
may be right and ya might be wrong,
   F#m
I ain't gonna worry all day long.

Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite
My old car froze up last night
Ain't no reason to hang my head
I could wake up in the mornin' dead
And if I thought it would do any good
I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood...
