  G 	  	  	  	  	              
Oh, the first days are the hardest days
  C        G
Don't you worry any more
  G 	  	  	  	        C
'Cause when life looks like easy street
 C 	     G
There is danger at your door
 Amin 	   	        Emin  C 
Think this through with me
            D
Let me know your mind
 C    D          G       D   C  G    
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh, 
     D       G
Is are you kind
 	  	  	  	  	  	 
It's a buck dancer's choice, my friend, 
Better take my advice 	  	 
You know all the rules by now, 
And the fire from the ice.
Will you come with me
Won't you come with me
 C   D 	    	  G 	  D   C 	   G    D        G
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh, will you come with me?

 G                  C G    
God damn! well I declare  
Amin      G        D
Have you seen the like
 D     C                        	  	      
Their walls are built of cannonballs
          G    D          C      D 
Their motto is "Don't tread on me"
 G 	  	  	 C    Amin   
Come hear Uncle John's band 
   G       D
Playing by the riverside
 C 	  	  	  	 G       
Got some things to talk about
  D       C      D
Here beside the rising tide.

It's the same story the crow told me
It's the only one he knows
Like the morning sun you come

And like the wind you go
Ain't no time to hate
Barely time to wait
Whoa-oh, what I want know-oh
Where does the time go

I live in a silver mine 
And I call it Beggar's tomb
I've got me a violin 
And I beg you call a tune
Anybody's choice
I can hear your voice
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh
How does the song go

 G      	  	  	 C    
Come hear Uncle John's band 
 Amin   G       D
By the riverside
 C 	  	  	        G       
Got some things to talk about 
   D      C       D
Here beside the rising tide. 
 G 	  	  	       C  
Come hear Uncle John's band 
 Amin     G    D
Playing to the tide 
 C 	  	  	          
Come on along or go alone
G       D        C        D
He's come to take his children home.
