The Tallest Man On Earth – Rivers (Guitar)

         F                       C
So there's longing in the shoulders now

                 Dm           Bb
There was a wildness in that time

             C
Can't we now say

                  F          Bb       C 
Oh sweet were the hours, but hours to find

               F            C
There was no way to live in simple dreams

                Dm               Bb
There was no straightness to our line

          C
Gravel in hand

               F          Bb       C 
Darling, we're moving the mountains around

            Bb              C
This is the fire of leaving pains

         F                    Dm
when the love is gone but the need remains

         Bb         C
into the shiver and cold of day

         F                            Dm
when the house is gone but the street remains

             C
I guess it's true

Bb                           F
I guess these rivers never knew

         F         C
And so finally the night time comes

             Dm           Bb
There is no lot to cast a blame

           C
No need to hide

                F            Bb      C
No fear who I'd meet in some grocery lane

   Bb              C
This is the fire of leaving pains

         F                    Dm
when the love is gone but the need remains

         Bb         C
into the shiver and cold of day

         F                            Dm
when the house is gone but the street remains

             C
I guess it's true

Bb                           F
I guess these rivers never knew

                 F                C
And I'll sing of seasons 'til you turn me off

          Dm             Bb
I see the way of letting go

               C
They'll be the same

             F             Bb        C
And whatever changes these changes I know

 Bb              C
This is the fire of leaving pains

            F                       Dm
When we're not that strong but the need remains

         Bb         C
into the shiver and lights of day

         F                            Dm
when the house is gone but the fields remain

             C
I guess it's true

Bb                           F
I guess these rivers never knew
