Am F Am F Say good-bye to the railroad, the mad dogs of summer, Am E7 Am And every-thing that I know. Chorus 1: F Am What some men will do here for diamonds, F Am What some men will do here for gold. F Am They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing, F E7 And sleep by the side of the road. Bridge 1: Am Dm There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb, E7 Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime. Am Dm Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green, Am E7 Am Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream. Interlude: Am F (x2) Verse 2: Am F Am F Small-time Na-poleon's shattered his knees, Am Dm Am E7 But he stays in the saddle for Rose. Am F Am F And all his dis-ciples, they shave in the gutter, Am E7 Am And they gather what's left of his clothes. Chorus 2: F Am What some men will do here for diamonds, F Am What some men will do here for gold. F Am They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing, F E7 And sleep by the side of the road.
