End Of The Race Tab

by Willy Mason


C#min                
when they came in the night,
                         C#min
they said we take what we like
                                               C#min
i said i wish you well, but i've been living like hell
                                                   C#min
i don't have what you need, but i can tell you what i see
                        
i close my eyes to go to sleep,
                          C#min
i feel a gun pressed to my cheek
C#min
i see the ocean rolling fast, i see the grass i see the grass
C#min
see it swallow up the past, i see the grass i see the grass
C#min
see the hands empty at last, i see the grass i see the grass
C#min                                                   
but all you ask me all you ask, all you ask all you ask
                        C#min
what have you got for me???????
                                 C#min
you knew that this day was coming on,
                  
i woke at first daylight
                             C#min
the sun still shining just as bright,
                    
as yesterday when it seemed
                            C#min
the world could end inside a dream
                          
i put on boots and went outside
                           C#min
the enemy is still shooting wide
                        
if they'd believe what i see
                                 C#min
they wouldn't shoot so thoughtlessly
C#min
i see the ocean..............................
                         C#min
  what have you got for me????
    
you knew that this day was coming

  so why didn't you start running
C#min                              
your hands are now too full to get a way

and this ain't gonna stop till something

cures you of all your wanting
C#min                               
until you lose what you won't give away
                               C#min
its time to make peace with this place
                       C#min
call this the end of the race
