Gilgamesh

A
Who's that walkin down the shore
	          D              A
	With the wild eyes of a beast?
    A 
He looks like he's carryin the weight of the world
	     B               E
	And half the sky at least
            A
You've got sorrow's toothmarks on your nose
	        B                 Ddom7
	And a sharp rock in your shoe
                            A
And if you break down this tavern door
	      E             A 
	I'll set my dog on you.

Well I'm lookin at a man with a perfect tan
	And the means to fill his lust
He's got wealth and power and a family
	He left back in the dust
Now your best friend took a fall for you
	And now you're cryin in my beer
If you weren't King of Uruk, boy,
	I'd throw you out of here
         D
There's just one thing in this whole wide world
	     A
	I'm tellin you is true:
    B
If you don't hold with the ones you love,
	                       Ddom7
	They won't be long by you
 A
Take it from Siduri
	     Ddom7
	You listen what I say:
     A
Hey Gilgamesh, you've gotta grab that snake
	   E                            A
	Before it steals your joy away.

D
Grab that snake and shake it,
 A 
Nab that crazy demon by the tail and make it
  D                      A            B E
Drop that pretty little hope it stole --

       D 
Don't tell me that your life's too short

	                              A
	When you waste your life on cryin
    D
Eat up, drink up, cheer up, dry out;
	   B                     E
	If you ain't happy then you're not tryin

There's just one thing in this whole wide world
	I'm tellin you is true:
If you don't hold with the ones you love,
	They won't be long by you
Take it from Siduri
	You listen what I say:
Hey Gilgamesh, you've gotta grab that snake
	Before it steals your joy away.
