[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em][B]
[Em][Am][Em][B]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Someone [Em]left
a child and did [Am]not even care
Before the first [Em]shots of the battle
[B]here had even pierced the air
Yes, they run [Em]now like them children
to those [Am]arms of mother earth
Trying to pre[Em]tend as if there was
a day [B]before their very birth

[Verse 2]
But, me [B]I just grab these ropes that
me and [A]mine have left behind
And I [Am]stare up to that mountain
that I [B]know I got to climb
I keep towin that [Em]line
[Am]Mmmmmm
I keep towin [Em]that [B]line

[Verse 3]
Mmmmmm
[Em]
But, down in basements choked
with smoke [Am]child of the past
All them [Em]dreams come up for air
round [B]here but they can only gasp
All them [Em]old men they sit staring
as life [Am]slips out of their grips
Only [Em]to fall and disappear bey
[B]ond their cracked old fingertips

[Verse 4]
But, me [B]I just grab these ropes me
and [A]mine have left behind
Yes, I [Am]stare up to that mountain that
I [B]know I've got to climb
I keep towin that [Em]line
[Am]Mmmmmm
I keep towin [Em]that line
[B]Mmmmmm

[Interlude 1]
[B][Em][Am][Em]
[B][A]
[Am][B]

[Verse 5]
(Break) I keep towin [Em]that
line
[Am]Mmmmmm
I keep towin [Em]that line
[B]Mmmmmm

[Verse 6]
[Em]
But down in ditches by
[Am]that road I call my own
All of [Em]you come a cussin' [B]now all
and all just throwing stones
Yes they're big [Em]men now to settle
down [C]and [Am]life's so stale and cold
As if I [Em]had to spend my life the way
they [B]do just as they're told

[Verse 7]
So if you should [B]find me living low when
[A]the miles have passed me by
And it [Am]seems that I have left now
[Em]all [B]that I could love behind
I'm just towin that [Em]line
[Am]Mmmmmm
I'm just towin [Em]that line
[B]Mmmmmm
