Verse 1
C
He is
G
skating on a river
That's been frozen since December
D
C
He's a soldier on a river off to war
G
And he just received his orders
They're in his pocket with his quarters
But they never cut his
D
C
leave like this before
G
He skated nights when
he was younger
Though he always knew the danger
But it seems so much is
D
here and gone so soon
C
G
And his buddies know he's crazy
But they'll meet him by the bridge,
D
and he has the light of more
C
than half a moon.
Am
G
D
Well the ice talks to the river,
Em
D
G
and the geese talk to themselves.
C
Will they fly all night
D
C
if there's no place to land?
G
A place to land is open water,
and open water he can't use
When it's hard enough to
D
C
find a place to stand
G
When the ice gives in beneath you,
you know it changes how you dream
D
C
And you will never be the same again
G

C
G
He's going where there is no winter
The only ice is in his veins
He may kill someone
D
C
G
C
whose face he'll never see
Am
G
He always knew he'd be a soldier
D
Em
D
Since his parents could remember
G
C
Now he's skating down
D
C
this temporary road
G
He is skating on a river
that's been frozen
And since December,
D
he's a soldier on a river off to war.
