Verse 1:

 Cm              Bb
Sisyphus peered into the mist

                               Eb
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused

        Cm                         F                                Bb
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?

        Eb                            Cm                     F              Bb
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?


Chorus:

Cm        F             Bb        Eb
  Let it roll, let it crash down low

           Ab                     D             Gm  G  Cm
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago

        F             Bb        Eb
Let it roll, let it crash down low

        Ab                      D            Gm
See my house down there but I lost it long ago

Post-Chorus:

                 Bb           Ab                 Eb
Well, I let the rock roll on down to the town below

           Bb                    Ab            G
We had a house down there but I lost it long ago

Lost it long ago

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

   F           Bb  G  Cm
Na-na-na-na-na-na

      F               Bb
I'm letting it roll away

           Eb                Ab
It's got nothing to do with fate

And everything to do with you


Verse 2:

            Cm                       F                     Bb
I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god on a lightning rod

           Eb                  Cm  F  Bb  Eb
History forgets the moderates

               Cm
For those who sit

                   F
Recalcitrant and taciturn

               Bb                        Eb                      Cm  F  Bb  Eb
You know I'd rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah

             Cm
Where's my accomplice?

     F                                Bb
So take my hand, we'll do more than stand

                      C
Take my hand, we'll claim this land

  Cm                F                 Bb
Take my hand, and we'll let the rock roll


Chorus:

Cm        F             Bb        Eb
  Let it roll, let it crash down low

           Ab                     D             Gm  G  Cm
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago

        F             Bb        Eb
Let it roll, let it crash down low

        Ab                      D            Gm
See my house down there but I lost it long ago

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

   Bb          Eb   Fm
Na-na-na-na-na-na

      Bb             Eb
I'm letting it roll away

           Ab                  Db
It's got nothing to do with fate

And everything to do withâ??
