Cowboy Junkies – Beas Song (Guitar)

C
Speed river at my feet running low and flat

     Am
I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past

         F                                            C
and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky

       G                                         F
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

 G                           F                   C
John's at my side but he's sitting on firmer ground

  C
John says I look at the moon and the stars

 Am
these days more often than I look into his eyes

       F                              C
and I cant disagree so I dont say nothing

        G                               F
I just stare on past his face at Venus rising

        G                F                      C
like a shiney speck of hope hanging over the horizion

  C
With each passing year that I sit here

      Am
that horizion seems to inch just that much nearer

     F                                        C
and all that appears on it seems as clear as spit

        G
But if there's one thing in my life

                      F
that these years have taught it's

              G              F
that you can always see it coming

                       C
but you can never stop it

C
Speed river at my feet running low and flat

     Am
I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past

         F                                            C
and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky

       G                                         F
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

 G                           F                   C
John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning

       G                                         F
The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

 G                           F                   C
John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
