Down Like Silver --- To the River --- No Capo
[Verse 1]
C
I walk to the river,
F C
Waiting to hear the water sing
C
I sit down beside her,
F C
Trying to hear the quiet ring
[Chorus 1]
C F C
The leaves break the falling of the sunlight that covers these banks
G F C
I've seen the water running, I've seen the color wash away
[Verse 2]
C
I come to the river
F C
Heavy and tired to the bone
C
I lay down beside her
F C
Grave as a slowly sinking stone
[Chorus 2]
C F C
I see clear to the bottom, I watch how the shadows play
G F C
I've seen the water falling, I've seen the colors bleed away
[Verse 3]
C
The light turns silver,
F C
Draining the hours from the day
C F C
The weight of the water pulls at the branches along the banks
C Am F Am C
And it tears at the fallen and it carries the broken on it's way
[Outro]
G F C
I've seen the water rolling, I've seen the colors fade away
G F C
I've seen the water rolling, I've seen the colors fade away
