DDPro's Website > Bob Gibson Chords & Lyrics >
C G7 C Ain't it great to be a living legend! C G C C7 Hey, mister, can you use an old folksinger? F G C C7 Would your patrons like some old time soul? F C - Em7/B - Am - Am7/G Can they dig the Foggy Mountain Breakdown? D G Sorry, I don't play no rock 'n' roll. Dm F C C7 Ah, but I can make 'em cry to Molly Darlin' F C C7 And sing along to Row Your Boat Ashore. F C Em7/B Am Am7/G I'll play until the dawn, and when the crowd is gone, D G Mister, I'll be glad to sweep your floor.
You should've been in New York back in '60!
Hey, wasn't I a star there for a while?
But New York messed up my head and I got strung out on reds.
Bobby Dylan went and copped my style.
Ah, but I can make 'em cry to Molly Darlin'
And sing along to Row Your Boat Ashore.
The street life sure is fun when you're 21,
But, mister, I ain't 21 no more.
So, I take the love of them who still remember.
I take the help of them who care to give.
I swap my songs for sandwiches and shelter -
Even living legends gotta live!
Dm F C C7 Ah, but I can make 'em cry to Molly Darlin' F C And sing along to Row Your Boat Ashore: C F C F C Michael row your boat ashore, Hallelujah. Em Dm C G C Michael row your boat ashore, Hallelu - jah. C F C F C Michael row your boat ashore, Hallelujah. Em Dm C G C Michael row your boat ashore, Hallelu - jah.
(Words and music by Shel Silverstein, 1973)
