[Intro]

[Verse 1]
 
    E
A modern-day warrior  
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
           E E  E D  E A  E C
Mean mean pride.  
 
 
[Hook]
 
E E
      Though his mind is not for rent,  
E D
      Don't put him down as arrogant.  
E A
      His reserve, a quiet defense,  
E C                            C G A
      Riding out the day's events.  
C    G A    E E  E D  E A   C B A G F# E
The ri_ver  
E F# G A E C B A
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  E             F#            G        A
And what you say about his company  
    E        C           B  A
Is what you say about society.  
E        F#    G            A
Catch the mist, catch the myth  
E         C           B        A       E F# G A E C B A B
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.  
 
 
[Hook]
 
   B
The world is, the world is,  
A        G         B
Love and life are deep,  
A             G     A   E
Maybe as his eyes are wide.  
E
Today's Tom Sawyer,  
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

[Verse 2]
 
E E
      No, his mind is not for rent  
E D
      To any god or government.  
E A
      Always hopeful, yet discontent,  
E C                                                        C G A
     He knows changes aren't permanent,  
C    G      A     E E   E D   E A   C B A G F# E
But change is.  
E F# G A E C B A
 
 
[Hook]
 
  E             F#             G        A
And what you say about his company  
    E       C                B  A
Is what you say about society.  
E        F#         G            A
Catch the witness, catch the wit  
E        C     B             A      E F# G A E C B A B
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.  
 
 
[Hook]
 
     B
The world is, the world is,  
A        G         B
Love and life are deep,  
A             G     A   E
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E
Exit the warrior,  
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
