(chorus)
 G                      C     G                  C
   just a roll, just a roll. just a roll on the drum
 G                      C            F        Am
   just a roll, just a roll and the war has begun

G                            C
   now the right things the wrong things
G                      C
   no more excuses to come
G                        C            F       Am
   just one step at the time and the war has begun

(chorus)

(instrumental break, same chords)

She's runaway she's runaway
And she ran so bitterly
Now call for your coloured friends
Don't you call for me

(chorus)

(instrumental break. leadsinger may go out to take a lunch)

Don't you cry don't you cry
Don't you cry upon the sea
Don't you cry don't you cry
For your lady and me

(chorus twice)
