E G C A

Yesterday, just a dream I don't remember

About time, out of rhyme and I'm out of reason

Season's change and leave me out in the cold

E G C A

The story's old, The tale been told by many scholars

E G C A

Got a fistful of dollars and pocketful of love

E G C A

God above if you hear me cryin'

E G C A

I've tried to sell my soul but no one's buyin'

Lord, strike me down now if I'm lyin'

E G C A

Gettin' cold, it's time for dyin'

[Chorus]

Come on and watch me shine

Like the world is mine lord today

Come on and watch me shine

Like the world is mine lord today

Watch me shine

[Verse 2]

E G

Let the man who's free from sin

C A E G C A

Cast the first stone and begin the violence

Let the man whose words ring true

Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence

Sittin here waitin' for my roads to cross

Plant my body like a seed

E G C A

You can't always get the things you want, love

You get what you deserve and what you need

So fill my hole with precious dirt

E G C A

Till the soil and pluck the weeds

[Chorus / Outro]
