Intro: D Amverse 1 The half-hearted getter and the faint-hearted quitter G Am Both sit in the gutter and both agree They moan and they mutter and utter so bitter D So double-dipped down, they?ll never get free verse 2 Am Locked out, knocked out, feet up like a beat pup G Am Ride to your ruin in an old rockin? chair Rock till you?re clocked out, eat your defeat up G Am Slide some more glue in, ?cause you ain?t got a prayerN.C. Am If you?ve got the will, oh, don?t sit still G Am Just ride that thrill right up the hill Before you?re dead, when the weak have fled G N.C. Am Or you will tread the rough road aheadverse 3 Am Don?t let the dawn?s light break upon a lost fight G Am You gotta get freed from life?s stampede Goin? on, on and on, going, going, going, gone D Gotta take the lead at breakneck speed verse 4 Am Zig-zag a tail spinner, don?t brag before dinner G Am Last to the last and show what you know Not a rag-tag beginner, but an in-the-bag winner G Am Goin? too fast and can?t find slowN.C. Am If you?ve got the will, oh, don?t sit still G Am Just ride that thrill right up the hill Before you?re dead, when the weak have fled G N.C. D Or you will tread the rough road aheadN.C. Am If you?ve got the will, oh, don?t sit still G Am Just ride that thrill right up the hill Before you?re dead, when the weak have fled G N.C. Am Or you will tread the rough road ahead
