When You Awake

E     F#m    B7 A/C# E 
Ollie told me I'm a fool 
  A                    Bm 
So I walked on down the road a mile 
A/C#                  D 
Went to the house that brings a smile 
F#         Bm 
Sat upon my grandpa's knee 
E                            D   G 
And what do you think he said to me? 

C                       Am     C/G    F 
When you awake you will remember ev'rything 
            D7      C    G 
You will be hangin' on a string from your 
C 
When you believe 
    C/B   Am         C/G  F 
You will relieve the only soul 
F             D7       C       G              C   B 
That you were born with to grow old and never know

Ollie showed me the fork in the road 
A                             Bm 
You can take to the left or go straight to the right 
A/C#              D 
Use your days and save your nights 
F#              Bm                  E 
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat 
               D               G 
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat 

C                       Am     C/G    F 
When you awake you will remember ev'rything

Ollie warned me it's a mean old world 
A                             Bm 
The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true 
    A/C#          D 
But what am I supposed to do 
F#          Bm 
Read the writing on the wall 
E                     D   G 
I heard it when I was very small 

C                       Am     C/G    F 
When you awake you will remember ev'rything

E 
Wash my hand in lye water

I got a date with the captains daughter 
E 
You can go and tell your brother 
F#m                                E  F#m 
We sure gonna love one another, oh! 
E 
You may be right and ya might be wrong 
F#m                              E  F#m 
I ain't gonna worry all day long 

E 
Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite 
F#m 
My old car froze up last night 
E 
Ain't no reason to hang your head 
F#m                                     E  F#m 
I could wake up in the mornin' dead, oh! 
E 
And if I thought it would do any good 
F#m 
I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood
