Verse
Em   E 
  A modernday warrior 


Mean mean stride 

E 
Today's Tom Sawyer 


Mean mean pride 

E D E7 A7 E C E 
         

                                D 
Though his mind is not for rent  

                               E 
Don't put him down as arrogant  

A7                  Em 
His reserve a quiet defense 

C                           G 
Riding out the day's events  

C 
The river 

E

Chorus
E                      G 
What you say about his company 

   A 
Is what you say about society 

A              G 
Catch the mist catch the myth 

Em                                Em B7 B 
Catch the mystery catch the drift      

    B 
The world is the world is 

A        G        B 
Love and life are deep 

A            G     A     E    E 
Maybe as his skies  are wide  

E                          Em 
Today's Tom Sawyer he gets high on you 

        Em 
And the space he invades he gets by on you

Verse
                            D 
No his mind is not for rent  

                         A 
To any god or government  

                              C 
Always hopeful yet discontent  

                                  G 
He knows changes aren't permanent  


But changes is
