Capo: 4


C                      Am 
Come away from the roadside, 
     F           C 
your feat, it is done. 
             G 
The battle is over, 
    Am         F       C 
you have both lost and won. 
  
        G                     Am 
For the drums, they're but an echo, 
     F               C 
your trumpet players die 
                Am 
come away, come away 
             F          C 
and know how hard you tried. 
     
    C                  Am 
the King, he holds the aces, 
    F                C 
he has not held your hand. 
                       G 
the queen, with her embraces, 
    Am       F      C 
you did not understand. 
  
        G                Am 
and the seeds that have fallen, 
          F              C 
along the weary hobo's trail, 
                         Am 
and just as they have fallen, 
          F            C 
don't let yourself be felled. 

C                      Am 
Come away from the roadside, 
     F           C 
your feat, it is done. 
             G 
The battle is over, 
    Am         F       C 
you have both lost and won. 
    Am         F       C 
you have both lost and won.
