Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Floating up (G major) above the river
in the glowing sky
With a faraway look
in your pretty almond eyes
You're gazing out across the river
at an endless night
There are lights on the horizon
of the world somewhere
There are street (C major) signs in the soul,
but you (D major) do not care
You're just up (G major) above the river,
like a flag on a pole
And if somebody (C major) don't do something,
you just might (D major) let go
Hey, I'm (C major) a common baby,
so you (D major) grab a hold (G major)
Live (D major) your life (G major) from side to side,
just like a little girl
Throwing cuss words at the devil
from your sandy curls
But in your pocket there's a life
just like a milky pearl
But now (D major) the crowd (G major) is gathered
and they're watching you real close
For each mark (C major) on the highway
and every (D major) mile closed
As you're (G major) driving through the country
that you love the most
And the rumor (C major) s of your future
haunt you like (D major) a ghost
Yeah, I'm (C major) a -comin', baby,
and I'll (D major) hold you close (G major)
Hold you (D major) close in the middle
of this (C major) wicked road
Hold you (G major) close in my arms
right where (D major) you belong
There's a mountain of trouble
in the world (C major) somewhere
With a river (G major) runnin' by
and the wind blowin' down
And a cool sun rising
with a whispering sound
Hey, I'll be right there baby,
you just look around
Well, a bridge is made for crossing
and a river to swim
This wa (C major) ter is the boundary
where the (D major) journey begins
I know it's (G major) up there on that mountain
that you're bought and sold
And the bank (C major) s of this big river,
well, they're (D major) muddy and cold
Hey, I'm (C major) a copper, baby,
so you (D major) can grab a hold (G major)
Hold you (D major) close in the middle
of this (C major) wicked road
Hold you (G major) close in my arms
right where (D major) you belong
There's a mountain of trouble
in the world (C major) somewhere
There's a (G major) mountain of trouble
(D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) (C major)
There's (D major) too (G major) many of us
living with a haunted look
Just a name, some numbers,
and a misery book
And some dark ancient merchant
lets you off the hook
Gotta get down to the banks
where we can smell the earth
Let the lines (C major) in your heart
tell you what (D major) you're worth
I see those (G major) lines
like an ancient story being told
And they glow (C major) like burning embers
when the (D major) night gets cold
Hey, I'm (C major) ma come, baby,
so you (D major) can never hold (G major)
Hold (D major) you close in the middle
of this (C major) wicked road
Hold you close (G major) in my arms
like where (D major) you belong
There's a mountain of trouble
in the world (C major) somewhere
There's a (G major) mountain of trouble (D major)
(G major) Are you close in the middle
of this wicked wall?
Are you close in my arms? (D major)
(G major) Are you close in the middle
of this wicked wall?
There's a mountain of trouble (D major) (G major)
There's a mountain of it's rubble (D major)
