Manassas So Many Times written by Chris Hillman
Chris Hillman lead vocals/guitar/mandolin
Al Perkins steel guitar
Stephen Still lead guitar/harmony
Dallas Taylor drums
Paul Harris keyboards
Joe Lala congos
Fuzzy Samuel bass
So many times I've been fooling myself
It's a hard hand to play falls on nobody else
/F#
Those in the city reaching out to grab hold
Of something they've only heard about
And never been shown
Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls
SOLO
Why would anyone even try to hold sway
Over somebody else
In such a small way
Where are the answers to the problems we face
Who would teach us
About sharing and living in grace
Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls
