The Wooden Sky - River Song One
Tabbed by: Eric Zillinger, 2018
[Verse]
C F Am F
I watched the water roll in off the river
C F C
And said "My dear we're in for it now"
Am Em
You said "Lay your head down
Am Em
Next to mine on the ground
F G C
And if the lord doesn't save us we'll drown"
[Verse]
C F Am F
So we both lay there shaking our hands in the river
C F C
Saying "I'm sure we were born just to die"
Am Em
But when the water rushed in
Am Em
I gave in to my sins
F G C
And found my own way to higher ground
[Verse]
C F Am F
Where I watched as the water took hold of your body
C F C
From high on my hill of retreat
Am Em
You smiled up at me
Am Em
Amongst the bodies and trees
F G C
I didn't sleep for a week after that
[Verse]
C F Am F
Finally the river let go of your body
C F C
And my mind drifted off into sleep
Am Em
But your eyes came to me
Am Em
Disguised as the sea
F G C
Saying "I can't forgive you for this"
[Verse]
C F Am F
Please darling, please, you're much stronger than me
C F C
And I've tried all my days to believe
Am Em
You said "Don't come around
Am Em
The next time you get down
F G C
Looking to me for release"
