[Intro]
C G D D x2
[Verse]
C G D
Spit into the center of your hometown, there's leaves in the street,
Dsus4 D C G D Dsus4 D
and there are friends around you now. All the days of your life in a line.
C G D Dsus4 D
or the way they seemed by 89...
C G D Dsus4 D
But it's not all right. It's not even close to all right.
[Chorus]
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Verse]
C G
We lie awake at night in a tent and I say,
D Dsus4 D C
Tell me about your uncle and his friend because they seem like very bad men.
G D Dsus4
Well we want to keep away from them.
D C G D Dsus4 D
Bend in the road back there, we saw the place they go.
C G D
Tell me about the greatest show or the greatest movie you know
Dsus4 D C
or the greatest song that you taped from off the radio.
G D Dsus4
Play it again and again it cuts off at the ending though.
D C G
Tell me I'm always gonna be your best friend.
D
Now you said it one time, why don't you say it again?
Dsus4 D C G
All the way down the line to where the telephone ends
D Dsus4 D
come on and shout it on down the wire.
C G D Dsus4 D
And it's not all right. It's not even close to all right.
[Chorus]
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Verse]
C G
And as the rescue party, the volunteer team,
D
they're just kids of eighteen, and it's the worst thing
Dsus4 D C
they've seen they're standing all around that tree,
G D Dsus4 D
and I'm so sorry that I can't stop crying.
[Interlude]
C G D Dsus4 D x2
[Verse]
{Sparse Strumming}
C G
Shivering from the late fall cold,
D
I felt like a solid ghost.
C
I ran and then I couldn't slow.
G D
My father found me though, my father took me home.
Dsus4 D C G
He said, oh, son, I saw you get knocked down,
D
and I ran out I bet your head was spinning.
C
With that bright pain you stunned, {resume strumming}
G D Dsus4
when you've only just begun to be only just beginning.
[Verse]
D C G
Tossed in the viper pit, all those feelings and fears,
D Dsus4 D
and all that difficult shit in all those tender years.
C G
There was something in the air; something gathered in the air.
D
Something singing in the wind.
Dsus4 D C G
I'll be your fighter and you'll be my mirror.
D
And you'll be all right because I'll be right here.
Dsus4 D C
Oh kid, now I'm not going anywhere.
G D Dsus4 D
I swear I'll try to not be going anywhere.
C G D
Though it's not all right. It is still far from all right.
D C
We'll make it into a choice somehow.
G D Dsus4 D
I don't know, but you'll have a choice somehow.
[Chorus]
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G
We can never go back; we can only remember
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Interlude]
C G D Dsus4 D x2
[Verse]
C G
Maybe they told you 'bout the summer sky,
D
maybe they said there's a great gold spirit in the summer sky
C G
or all your friends, all your best, best friends
D
are gonna gather around your bed at night.
C G D Dsus4 D C
Well that'll make it all right because it is still so far from all right.
G D Dsus4 D
Oh, kid, I know.
[Chorus]
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G D
Up the stairs four flights, son; can you feel my heart shiver?
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G D
Waking in the dawn with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer.
C
I said, are we going down, are we going down are we going down the deep river?
G D
Oh down the deep river?
C G D
Down, down, down down down the deep river, down down the deep river
C G
Why don't you, why don't you, oh, say you still see it son, say you remember?
D C G
O-------h, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down
D
Are we going down, hey, hey, hey
C G
Are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down
D C
Are we going down the deep river? Because I know it's scary, baby.
