[Intro] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) [Verse 1] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) Last night I went out walking G5 (D5) D5 (A5) out on the edge of town, D5 (A5) D5 (A5) not going no place special,

D5     A5        G5   (D5)
only wandering around.

[Instrumental] G5 (D5) [Verse 2] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) I came upon a river. G5 (D5) D5 (A5) I thought about what you said D5 (A5) D5 (A5) and couldn't stop it flowing

    D5        A5       G5   (D5)
and running through my head.

[Instrumental] G5 (D5) [Verse 3] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) You said that I'd been changing G5 (D5) D5 (A5) and never seemed to laugh, D5 (A5) D5 (A5) but I can't recall the last time you smiled

          D5     A5     G5   (D5)
and it's tearing me in half.

[Instrumental] G5 (D5) [Solo]

[Instrumental] G5 (D5) [Verse 4] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) I want to run and tell you G5 (D5) D5 (A5) the thoughts that are in my head, D5 (A5) D5 (A5) but I don't think that you'd believe

   D5     A5     G5   (D5)
a single word I said.

[Instrumental] G5 (D5) [Verse 5] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) The river's water runs so cool G5 (D5) D5 (A5) it calms my burning skin. D5 (A5) D5 (A5) It takes away my aching thoughts

      D5      A5     G5   (D5)
and cleanses all my sin.

[Instrumental] G5 (D5) [Verse 6] G5 (D5) G5 (D5) So let it flow on, take me down, G5 (D5) D5 (A5) to sleep that quiet sleep. D5 (A5) D5 (A5) And roll my body back to you

    D5          A5      G5  (D5)
my love you may always keep.

[Outro] G5 (D5) G5 *********************************** | / Slide up | \ Slide down ***********************************
