Who am I     to stand and wonder, to wait
CC Piano Chord 
                     GG Piano Chord 
            CC Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 

While the wheels of fate slowly grind my life away

Who am I

(G)                          CC Piano Chord 

There were some things that I loved one time
GG Piano Chord 
                 CC Piano Chord 

But the dreams are gone I thought were mine
GG Piano Chord 
                CC Piano Chord 

And the hidden tears that once did fall
GG Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

Now burn inside at the thought of all
GG Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

The years of waste, the years of cryin'
GG Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

The passions of a heart so blind
GG Piano Chord 
             CC Piano Chord 

To think that, but even still
GG Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

As I stand exposed to the feelings I felt
GG Piano Chord 
   CC Piano Chord 
        D7D7 Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

And I cried into the echoes of my loneliness

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

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