Version 1 Version 2
            E                                                            
Please don't dominate the rap Jack, if you got nothin' new to say.
    E                                                               
And if you please, don't back up the tracks, this train's got to run today.

 E                           E7
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill.

E                                 G             D            A
Like some say, better run away; others say you better stand still.

    E                                      G       D             A
Now I don't know but I been told that it's hard to run with the weight of gold  
       E                                    G       D
On the other hand, I've heard it said, it's just as hard with the
                                                A                       
                                                weight of lead
                         

E                                                    
Who can deny, who can deny, it's not just a change of style.
E                                                    
One step done and another begun, and I wonder how many miles.
                                                                

  E
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill,
E                                                G        D       A
Things have went down we don't understand, but I think in time we will.
      E                                       G           D         A
Well, I don't know, but I've been told in the heat of the sun a man died of cold. 
E                                         G       D            A
Keep on comin' or stand and wait with the sun so dark and the hour so late.


E                                                        
You can't overlook the lack, Jack, of any other highway to ride,
     E                                                   
It's got no signs or dividing lines, and very few rules to guide.
  E                          E7
I spent a little time on the mountain, spent a little time on the hill,
E                                      G          D      A
I saw things getting out of hand but I guess they always will.

E                                          G           D
Now I don't know but I've been told if the horse don't pull you got to 
A
carry the load.
E                                      G          D      A
I don't know whose back`s that strong; maybe find out before too long.

E                                                                 G
One way or another, one way or another, one way or another, this darkness 
    D      E 
has got to give.
