[Verse 1]
 Am              D
Sisyphus peered into the mist
          G                        C
A stone's throw from the precipice, paused
        Am                         D                                G
Did he jump or did he fall as he gazed into the maw of the morning mist?
        C                            Am                     D              G
Did he raise both fists and say, "To hell with this" and just let the rock roll?
 
 
[Chorus]
Am        D             G        C
  Let it roll, let it crash down low
           F                     B             Em  E  Am
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago
        D             G        C
Let it roll, let it crash down low
        F                      B            Em
See my house down there but I lost it long ago

[Post-Chorus]
                 G           F                 C
Well, I let the rock roll on down to the town below
           G                    F            E
We had a house down there but I lost it long ago
               Am
Lost it long ago
    D          G     E  Am
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
   D           G  E  Am
Na-na-na-na-na-na
      D               G
I'm letting it roll away
           C                F
It's got nothing to do with fate
       B                   Em   E
And everything to do with you
 
 
[Verse 2]
            Am                       D                     G
I'd rather fail like a mortal than flail like a god on a lightning rod
           C                  Am  D  G  C
History forgets the moderates
               Am
For those who sit
                   D
Recalcitrant and taciturn
               G                        C                      Am  D  G  C
You know I'd rather turn and burn than scale this edifice, yeah
             Am
Where's my accomplice?
     D                                G
So take my hand, we'll do more than stand
                      C
Take my hand, we'll claim this land
  Am                D                 G
Take my hand, and we'll let the rock roll
 
 
[Chorus]
Am        D             G        C
  Let it roll, let it crash down low
           F                     B             Em  E  Am
There's a house down there but I lost it long ago
        D             G        C
Let it roll, let it crash down low
        F                      B            Em
See my house down there but I lost it long ago
 A            Dm
Lost it long ago
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
   G          C    A  Dm
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
   G          C   Dm
Na-na-na-na-na-na
      G             C
I'm letting it roll away
           F                  Bb
It's got nothing to do with fate
         B
And everything to do withâ

  Am             D
Sisyphus peered into the mist
            G                        C
