Chords with lyrics
WHO AM I - Country Joe and the Fish
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D7D7
Who am I to stand and wonder, to wait
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
While the wheels of fate slowly grind my life away
C majorC G+G
Who am I
(G+G) C majorC
There were some things that I loved one time
G+G C majorC
But the dreams are gone I thought were mine
G+G C majorC
And the hidden tears that once did fall
G+G C majorC
Now burn inside at the thought of all
G+G C majorC
The years of waste, the years of cryin'
G+G C majorC
The passions of a heart so blind
G+G C majorC
To think that, but even still
G+G C majorC
As I stand exposed to the feelings I felt
G+G C majorC D7D7 G+G
And I cried into the echoes of my loneliness
CHORUS
What a nothing I've made of life
The empty words, the coward's plight
To be pushed and passed from hand to hand
Never daring to speak never daring to stand
And the emptiness in my family's eye
Reminds me over and over of lies
And promises and deeds undone
And now again I have to run
But now there is nowhere to run to
CHORUS
Now my friend we meet again
And we shall see which one will bend
Under the strain of death's golden eyes
Which one of us will win the prize
To live - and which one will die
'Tis I my friend, yes 'tis I
Will kill to live again and again
Clutch the throat of sweet revenge
For life is here only for the taking
CHORUS
