[Intro]
C G D D x2
[Verse]
C G D Spit into the center of your hometown, there's leaves in the street, Dsus4 D C G D Dsus4 D and there are friends around you now. All the days of your life in a line. C G D Dsus4 D or the way they seemed by 89... C G D Dsus4 D But it's not all right. It's not even close to all right.
[Chorus]
C G Down a hall in your house, down a road in December D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river C G Down a hall in your house, down a road in December D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Verse]
C G We lie awake at night in a tent and I say, D Dsus4 D C Tell me about your uncle and his friend because they seem like very bad men. G D Dsus4 Well we want to keep away from them. D C G D Dsus4 D Bend in the road back there, we saw the place they go. C G D Tell me about the greatest show or the greatest movie you know Dsus4 D C or the greatest song that you taped from off the radio. G D Dsus4 Play it again and again it cuts off at the ending though. D C G Tell me I'm always gonna be your best friend. D Now you said it one time, why don't you say it again? Dsus4 D C G All the way down the line to where the telephone ends D Dsus4 D come on and shout it on down the wire. C G D Dsus4 D And it's not all right. It's not even close to all right.
[Chorus]
C G Down a hall in your house, down a road in December D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river C G Down a hall in your house, down a road in December D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Verse]
C G And as the rescue party, the volunteer team, D they're just kids of eighteen, and it's the worst thing Dsus4 D C they've seen they're standing all around that tree, G D Dsus4 D and I'm so sorry that I can't stop crying.
[Interlude]
C G D Dsus4 D x2
[Verse]
{Sparse Strumming}
C G Shivering from the late fall cold, D I felt like a solid ghost. C I ran and then I couldn't slow. G D My father found me though, my father took me home. Dsus4 D C G He said, oh, son, I saw you get knocked down, D and I ran out I bet your head was spinning. C With that bright pain you stunned, {resume strumming} G D Dsus4 when you've only just begun to be only just beginning.
[Verse]
D C G Tossed in the viper pit, all those feelings and fears, D Dsus4 D and all that difficult shit in all those tender years. C G There was something in the air; something gathered in the air. D Something singing in the wind. Dsus4 D C G I'll be your fighter and you'll be my mirror. D And you'll be all right because I'll be right here. Dsus4 D C Oh kid, now I'm not going anywhere. G D Dsus4 D I swear I'll try to not be going anywhere. C G D Though it's not all right. It is still far from all right. D C We'll make it into a choice somehow. G D Dsus4 D I don't know, but you'll have a choice somehow.
[Chorus]
C G Down a hall in your house, down a road in December D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river C G We can never go back; we can only remember D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Interlude]
C G D Dsus4 D x2
[Verse]
C G Maybe they told you 'bout the summer sky, D maybe they said there's a great gold spirit in the summer sky C G or all your friends, all your best, best friends D are gonna gather around your bed at night. C G D Dsus4 D C Well that'll make it all right because it is still so far from all right. G D Dsus4 D Oh, kid, I know.
[Chorus]
C G Down a hall in your house, down a road in December D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river C G D Up the stairs four flights, son; can you feel my heart shiver? D Dsus4 D Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river C G D Waking in the dawn with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer. C I said, are we going down, are we going down are we going down the deep river? G D Oh down the deep river? C G D Down, down, down down down the deep river, down down the deep river C G Why don't you, why don't you, oh, say you still see it son, say you remember? D C G O-------h, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down D Are we going down, hey, hey, hey C G Are we going down, are we going down, are we going down, are we going down D C Are we going down the deep river? Because I know it's scary, baby.
