The Tallest Man On Earth – Little River (Guitar)

              G                                    C
Well there is something 'bout the quiet, uplifting laughter

            D                               G
You've just spent so many years chased by a cloud, oh

     G                              C
It's taken you so far, far past the cliff's edge

             D                                 G
And now your feet just poke around to feel the ground, oh

    C                                    G
You say "Is this a joke?" I float, "Come on now"

                C
You see there's something down below

                          G
Just let me fall to be of use, make me the rainstorm

          C                        D
Or just a piece of hail, you know

           C
You said, "All the time it needs to take

    Am7                    D                G
And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear

          C
But is it honest like a fallen log

   Am7                 D                     G
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"

             G                                     C
And there is something 'bout the quiet surprise in darkness

         D                                 G
You just sing about your own death in your closet

    G                                C
You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway

                 D                                  G
You think you've lost so many times though it's not war yet

          C
You say, "Are these my eyes?"

                G                C
You said, "Come on now, already lost my sense to feel"

                            G
But there is always someone out there who will listen

                 G                     D
And then there's nothing but a dream

           C
You said, "All the time it needs to take

    Am7                    D                G
And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear

          C
But is it honest like a fallen log

   Am7                 D                     G                 C  D
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"

             G                                C
And there is something 'bout the leaving of a lover

              D                                        G
You think you knew through all the years you've been a woman

         G                                 C
And he's steppin' out and walks out of the garden

              D                                     G
Where all the lilies and all the weed came from his cold hand

    C                                       G
You say, "Is this my life?" You said, "Come on now"

            G
You see the diamonds when you yell

             C                              G
That let you stay in all the corners I have been here

            G                     D
But now you travel, go to hell

           C
You said, "All the time it needs to take

    Am7                    D                G
And all the time there's a shiver from some fallen tear

          C
But is it honest like a fallen log

   Am7                 D                     G                 C  D
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?"
