Biography:
Country Joe and the Fish was a rock music/folk music band known for musical protests against the Vietnam War, from 1965 to 1970.
The lead singer was "Country" Joe McDonald. The lead guitarist was Barry "The Fish" Melton. Co-founders McDonald and Melton added musicians as needed over the life of the band. By 1967, what many consider the classic line-up included Gary "Chicken" Hirsh (drums), David Cohen (keyboards) and Bruce Barthol (bass).
The band was an early example of Psychedelic music.

WHO AM I - Country Joe and the Fish
C G C G D7
Who am I to stand and wonder, to wait
C G C G
While the wheels of fate slowly grind my life away
C G
Who am I
(G) C
There were some things that I loved one time
G C
But the dreams are gone I thought were mine
G C
And the hidden tears that once did fall
G C
Now burn inside at the thought of all
G C
The years of waste, the years of cryin'
G C
The passions of a heart so blind
G C
To think that, but even still
G C
As I stand exposed to the feelings I felt
G C D7 G
And I cried into the echoes of my loneliness
CHORUS
What a nothing I've made of life
The empty words, the coward's plight
To be pushed and passed from hand to hand
Never daring to speak never daring to stand
And the emptiness in my family's eye
Reminds me over and over of lies
And promises and deeds undone
And now again I have to run
But now there is nowhere to run to
CHORUS
Now my friend we meet again
And we shall see which one will bend
Under the strain of death's golden eyes
Which one of us will win the prize
To live - and which one will die
'Tis I my friend, yes 'tis I
Will kill to live again and again
Clutch the throat of sweet revenge
For life is here only for the taking
CHORUS
I hope these lyrics are correct. I got the chords from Barry Melton, one of the Fish, in our short e-mail
If anyone out there has chords or tabs for Rock Coast Blues, I would be eternally grateful.
