------------------------ VERSE 1 ******** C G Three mules came over a hill Em Am They were dragging a cart D G Creaking, it seemed to be falling apart C G Laden with millions of dreams Em Am It weighed more than they thought D G They never noticed the wheels getting caught F Am They pulled on, staring ahead G Dm With blinkered eyes and lowered heads F Am Hoping that all would be fine C G I see them now, Time out of time ------------------------ VERSE 2 ******** C G Ramsey and Stanley and Neville Em Am Were the names of the mules D G Each wore a bridle encrusted with jewels C G And though a murmur of voices Em Am Was rising behind D Each labored on G And they paid it no mind F Am They pulled on with never a doubt G Past boulders and holes Dm Till the road petered out F Am And giving a snort they sat down C G Waiting for somebody else to come round F C And from this are our lives writ large G From the beach at Dunkirk Em Am To Pickett`s Charge G And it`s hard to go back F After coming this far C Down the road ------------------------ SMALL SOLO *********** Bb C Bb ------------------------ VERSE 3 ******** C G Three mules looked over a fence Em Am At the field beyond D G Green as a forest it shone in the sun C G Into the stillness they broke Em Am Like a stone in a pond D Kicking the gate down G They brayed at the ground F Am And pulled on tugging a dream G Dm Out of a smile and into a scream F Am And tossed the damp soil all around C G till the whole field turned muddy brown F C And from this are our lives writ large G From the beach at Dunkirk Em Am To Pickett`s Charge G And it`s hard to go back Em F After coming this far C Down the road ------------------------ SMALL SOLO *********** Bb C Bb ------------------------ BRIDGE ******* C G Em G Ah, but it`s not very easy now being a mule C G Em G I don`t believe you appreciate all that we do C Am Just look at this long and unfortunate face Ab F Try to imagine that you`re in my place Eb This is my nature G C To it I have to be true ------------------------ SMALL SOLO *********** C G Em Am D Am G C G Em Am D G F Am G Dm F Am C G ------------------------ VERSE 3 ******** C G Three mules came over a hill Em Am With a sorrowful air D Though we`ve been judged, they said G It`s hardly fair C G All that we did was for you Em Am And the good of the cause D G Then they went back to the sound of applause F Am They went back into the night G Where a sickle of moon F Left a trickle of light Am And while we lay under our roofs C The whole night filled up G With the beating of hooves F C And from this are our lives writ large G From the beach at Dunkirk Em Am To Pickett`s Charge G And it`s hard to go back Em F After coming this far C Down the road ------------------------ SMALL SOLO *********** C Bb C Bb ------------------------ F C And from this are our lives writ large G And every day Em Am Is Pickett`s Charge G And it`s hard to go back Em F After coming this far C Down the road ------------------------ OUTRO ****** G Em Am D G ENJOY............
