Lyrics
Roll With It (words and music by Chris Antonik)
Verse Chords - E7#9, B7, A, A7
Chorus - D9, A7, G, B, E
Intro - couple passes
V1
You gotta have a love song
You gotta have a blues
You gotta roll with it mama
Just like you said you would
V2
You got the boat shakin
You got the rope tight
And all the people gonna know
When they're feelin right
Chorus
It been a long time comin'
Crawlin' in the rain
Even though sunshine and fire
Are one in the same
V3
Oh the worlds gettin' hazy
What you gonna do
You just roll with it mama
Just like you said you would
Chorus
It been a long time coming
Crawlin in the rain
Even though sunshine and fire
Are one in the same
V4
And if we gotta climb
Up broken stairs
Oh just roll with it mama
Cuz we'll get there
SOLO
V5
You gotta have a love song
You gotta have a blues
You gotta roll with it mama
Just like you said you would
V6
Oh the worlds gettin' hazy
What you gonna do
Oh just roll with it mama
Just like you said you would
Slide solo out
