Intro 1
(E minor) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) Moves like a fist through traffic
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into the momentum
It's just a little lump
But you feel it
In the creases and the shadows
With a rattling deep emotion
The cool, cool (E minor) river (G major)
(E minor) Sweeps (G major) the wild, white ocean (E minor) (G major)

Verse 2
(E minor) Yes boss,
the (G major) government handshake
Yes boss, the crusher of language
Yes boss, Mr. Stillwater
The face at the edge of the banquet
The cool, the cool (E minor) river (G major)
The cool, the cool river
(E minor) (G major)
Verse 3
(G major) I be (D major) lieve in the (E minor) future
(C major) I may (G major) live (C major) in (G major) my car (Asus4)
(D major) My radi (G major) o (E minor) tuned to
(C major) The (G major) (C major) (G major) voice of a star (Asus4)
(D major) Song dogs (G major) barking at the
break of dawn
(E minor) Lightning pushes (C major) the edge
of a thunderstorm (G major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) And these old (G major) hopes and fears
(E minor) Still at my side (C major)
Interlude 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Verse 4
(G major) Anger and no one can heal it
Slides through the metal detector
Lives like a mole in a motel
A (E minor) slide in a slide (G major) projector
The cool, cool river
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
(E minor) The rage (G major) (E minor) of love turn (G major)
s inward (E minor)
(G major) To prayers of (E minor) de votion (G major)
(E minor) And these (G major) prayers are
The constant road across the wilderness
(E minor) These (G major) prayers are
These prayers are the memory
(E minor) (G major) of God
The memory of God
Verse 5
And I (D major) believe in the (G major) fu ture (E minor)
(C major) We shall (G major) (C major) suffer (G major) no more
(D major) Maybe not in (G major) my life (E minor) time
(C major) But in (G major) yours (C major) (G major) I feel sure (Asus4) (D major)
Song dogs barking at the break
(G major) of dawn
(E minor) Lightning pushes the edges
of a (C major) thunderstorm (G major) (Asus4)
(D major) And these (C major) streets
Quiet as a (G major) sleeping army
Send their battered dreams (D major) to (G major) heaven,
(C major) to heaven (G major) (C major)
(G major) For the mother's restless son
Who is a witness to, who is a (C major) warrior
Who denies his urge (G major) to break and run
Verse 6
Who says: (G major) Hard times?
I'm used to them
The speeding planet burns
I'm used to that
(C major) My life's so com (G major) mon
it disappears
And sometimes even music
(C major) Cannot (G major) substitute for tears
Outro 1
