Who Am I

Wh[C]o am [G]I   [C]  to stand and w[G]onder, to w[D7]ait
 [C] While the wheels of f[G]ate slowly gr[C]ind my life aw[G]ay
 [C] Who am [G]I

The[G]re were some things that I l[C]oved one time
But the dr[G]eams are gone I th[C]ought were mine
And the h[G]idden tears that [C]once did fall
Now b[G]urn inside at the th[C]ought of all
The y[G]ears of waste, the y[C]ears of cryin'
The p[G]assions of a h[C]eart so blind
To th[G]ink that, but [C]even still
As I st[G]and exposed to the f[C]eelings I felt
And I cr[G]ied [C]into the [D7]echoes of my [G]loneliness

What a nothing I've made of life
The empty words, the coward's plight
To be pushed and passed from hand to hand
Never daring to speak never daring to stand
And the emptiness in my family's eye
Reminds me over and over of lies
And promises and deeds undone
And now again I have to run
But now there is nowhere to run to

Now my friend we meet again
And we shall see which one will bend
Under the strain of death's golden eyes
Which one of us will win the prize
To live - and which one will die
'Tis I my friend, yes 'tis I
Will kill to live again and again
Clutch the throat of sweet revenge
For life is here only for the taking

I hope these lyrics are correct.  I got the chords from Barry Melton, one of the Fish, in our short e-mail
 If anyone out there has chords or tabs for Rock Coast Blues, I would be eternally grateful.
