Rollin' Home

Peter, Paul and Mary

  G  C 
1. Truth with all it's far out schemes 
          D 
   let's time decide what it should mean 
         G 
   it's not the time but just the dreams that die 
   and sometimes when the room is still 
    Hmi 
   time with so much truth to kill 
    C                                 G 
   leaves you by the window still so tied 
              Ami D            G 
   without a wing to take you high 
               Ami D             G 
   without a clue  to tell you why. 
2. Now I just want to keep my name 
   not bother anybody's game 
   without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights 
   I don't want a lot of money 
   I don't want a Playboy Bunny 
   just a love to call me honey late at night 
   in my arms by my side 
   in my arms late at night. 
       D              C           D 
R: But I don't know I ain't been told 
                      C       D 
   ev'rybody wants a hand to hold 
                         C    D 
   they're so afraid of being old 
                       C     D 
   so scared of dying so unknown 
            Ami          C  G D C D 
   and so alone rollin' home. 
3. Well I see the ones who crawl like moles 
   who for a front would trade their souls, 
   a broken mirror's the only hole for them 
   and for you who'd exchange yourselves 
   just to be somebody else, 
   pretending things you never felt or meant 
   hey you don't live what you defend 
   you can't give so you just bend. 
4. Now if you care what people think 
   like they supplied some missing link 
   they'll just stand back and watch you sink so slow 
   they'll never help you to decide 
   they'll only take you for a ride 
   after which they'll try and hide the fact that they don't know 
   what you should do where you should go 
   what you should do where you should go. 
R: 
5. There's nothing big I want to prove 
   no mountains that I need to move 
   or even claim what's right or true for you 
   my sights my songs are slightly charred 
   you might think they miss their mark 
   but things are only what they are and nothing new 
   but for me I think they'll do 
   but for me I think they'll do. 
6. Well I can see a king and queen 
   a beggar falling at my feet 
   they all must see the same sad dreams at night 
   futility and senseless war 
   pit the rich against the poor 
   while cause is buried long before the fight 
   for what was wrong for what was right 
   it's just the strong who ever says what's right. 
              C  G D C D       C  G D C D       C  G D C D 
R: + rollin' home     rollin' home     rollin' home ...
