C/B Chord EADGBe x20010 [Intro] G C G C [Verse 1]
C     C/B   Am
Oh country down 

G                        C
Where I found my proving ground 

C    C/B           Am
All along the floodline 

G                   C
Wheels are turning around 

G                         C
The hills roll out like centuries 

G                  C
Pass by without a sound 

G      F       Am      G
Just a mile outside of town 
[Verse 2]
C       C/B   Am
Down-river bound 

G                                C
Where the limit to your sky fell down 

C              C/B  Am
A plot against your will 

G                     C
Is furrowed into your brow 

G                       C
Against your better judgment 

G                   C
It's all behind you now 

G      F       Am      G
Just a mile outside of town 
[Bridge 1]
D              F 
What's the use in being found 

Am                         G
When you can lose yourself in some good ground? 

D                       F
In the weeds hiding downriver right next door 

Am            
There's no frame around your picture 

G
Just a view through my back door 
[Harmpnica solo] C C/B Am G C x2 G C G C G F Am G [Verse 3]
C     C/B  Am
Time evermore 

         G                         C
You just found what you're looking for 

C       C/B  Am   
----- A tiger rose 

        G                   C
Growing through your prison door 

G              C     
Reaching for sunlight

      G         C
Can't see it anymore 

G      F         Am      G
Just a mile from my back door 
[Bridge 2]
D                      F
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun 

Am
On a ladder up to the sky 

G
You're standing on the lowest rung 

D                   F
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense 

Am                      G
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against 
[Verse 4]
C      C/B  Am
Oh lay me down 

G                         C
Where we found my proving ground 

C           C/B    Am
All along the floodline 

G                  C
Waves are turning around 

G                       C
The hills roll out like centuries 

G                 C
Pass by without a sound 

G      F       Am      G      
Just a mile outside of town
