Intro: D        Am 


[Refrão]
 
N.C.              Am 
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still 
               G                   Am 
Just ride that thrill right up the hill 

Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled 
            G     N.C.            Am 
Or you will tread the rough road ahead 


verse 1 

The half-hearted getter and the faint-hearted quitter 
                           G     Am 
Both sit in the gutter and both agree 

They moan and they mutter and utter so bitter 
                                              D 
So double-dipped down, they’ll never get free 


verse 2 
Am 
Locked out, knocked out, feet up like a beat pup 
                        G           Am 
Ride to your ruin in an old rockin’ chair 

Rock till you’re clocked out, eat your defeat up 
                                    G           Am 
Slide some more glue in, ‘cause you ain’t got a prayer

N.C.              Am 
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still 
               G                   Am 
Just ride that thrill right up the hill 

Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled 
            G     N.C.            D 
Or you will tread the rough road ahead 


verse 3 
Am 
Don’t let the dawn’s light break upon a lost fight 
                         G          Am 
You gotta get freed from life’s stampede 

Goin’ on, on and on, going, going, going, gone 
                                       D 
Gotta take the lead at breakneck speed 


verse 4 
Am 
Zig-zag a tail spinner, don’t brag before dinner 
                     G             Am 
Last to the last and show what you know 

Not a rag-tag beginner, but an in-the-bag winner 
                   G          Am 
Goin’ too fast and can’t find slow

N.C.              Am 
If you’ve got the will, oh, don’t sit still 
               G                   Am 
Just ride that thrill right up the hill 

Before you’re dead, when the weak have fled 
            G     N.C.            Am 
Or you will tread the rough road ahead
