Key of A [Intro] C#m A F#m F#m [Verse]

C#m
Breathe, breathe what his lung says.....begs him to scream,

A
Scream is what James wants, but he can't be seen,

F#m
Seen by the boys, sleeping, boys in their dreams

F#m
Dreams on the banks of a riverbed

[Pre-Chorus]

A
They would have saved him

E
If he could wake them

F#m
Sleep through the midnight

F#m
This night won't leave

C#m A F#m F#m [Verse]

C#m
Deep, deep is the river that's under his feet,

A
Feet, dangling dark in the night but no sleep

F#m
Sleep won't consume for this God-fearing boy

F#m
Who's stuck in the cold fog of December trees

[Pre-Chorus]

A
They would have saved him

E
If he could wake them

F#m
Sleep through the midnight

F#m
This night won't leave

A
They would have saved him

E
If he could wake them

F#m
Sleep through the midnight

F#m
This night won't fall

[Bridge]

C#
Fall comes the rain down and wakes up them all,

A
All they can see is James' boots and they crawl

F#m
Crawl down the steep river's edge,

F#m
Slipping right past him, that's where they screamed

[Chorus]

E
James, James, get out of the water

A
Please, please, don't go down no farther,

F#m                             A
There's rapids up ahead in this valley's bend

E
Please, James

E
James, James, get out of the water

A
Please, please, don't go down no farther,

F#m                             A
There's rapids up ahead in this valley's bend

E
Please, James

Sleep through the midnight
