Capo 1
[D]Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I heard a [Bm]story from the man in red
He said "The l[D]leaves are fallin' down
Such a beautiful sound
Son, I [Bm]think you'd better go ahead
But you [D]always hold your head up high
'Cause it's a [Bm]long, long, long way down
This town was [D]meant for passing through
Boy it ain't nothin' new
Now go and [Bm]show 'em that the world stayed round
But it's a l[G]long, long, long way[F#m]way down [Em] [D] [D] [G] [F#m] [A]
You better [D]run for the hills
Before they burn
Listen to the [Bm]sound of the world
Don't watch it turn
I just want to [Em]show you what [F#m]I know
And catch you when the [G]current
Lets you[A]you go
Or should I just [D]get along with myself
I never did [Bm]get along with everybody else
I've been tryin' [D]hard to do what's right
But you know [Bm]I could stay here, all night [G]
And watch the clouds fall from the
[Em]sky
This [A]river is wild [D] [Bm]
This river is wild [D] [Bm] [A/E]
[D]Run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the [Bm]sound of the world
Don't watch it turn
I shake a little
[D]Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
I shake a little
[Bm]Sometimes I hate the line I walk
I just want to [Em]show you what [F#m]I know
And catch you when the [G]current
Lets you[A]you go
Or should I just [D]get along with myself
I never did [Bm]get along with everybody else
I've been tryin' [D]hard to do what's right
But you know [Bm]I could stay here, all night [G]
And watch the clouds fall from the
[Em]sky [A]
Because this river is w[Bm]wild[A/C#]ild [A] [Bm] [G]
Godspeed ya, [G]bo[A]boy [F#m] [G] [Bm]
This river is [Bm]wil[A/C#]wild [A] [Bm] [G] [G] [A] [F#m] [G]
[D]Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom
Because that [Bm]bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray
He's with the [D]hippie in the park combing over the dark
Just tryin' to [Bm]get some of that little-girl play
You better r[G]run for the hills [F#m]before they burn
Listen to the [Em]sound of the world
Don't w[D]watch it turn
I just want to [Em]show you what [F#m]I know
And catch you when the [G]current
Lets you[A]you go
Or should I [D]get along with myself
I never did [G]get along with ever[F#m]everybody else
I've been tryin' [A]hard to do what's [Bm]right
But you know [D]I could stay her[G]here
All night
[G]And watch the clouds fall from the[Em]the sky [A]
[G]This pain is hell in me to[A]tonight
Because this river is w[Bm]wild[A/C#]ild [A] [Bm] [G]
Godspeed ya, [G]bo[A]boy [F#m] [G] [Bm]
This river is [Bm]wil[A/C#]wild [A] [Bm] [G] [G] [A] [F#m] [G]
Because this river is w[Bm]wild[A/C#]ild [A] [Bm] [G]
Godspeed ya, [G]bo[A]boy [F#m] [G] [Bm]
This river is [Bm]wil[A/C#]wild [A] [Bm] [G] [G] [A] [F#m] [G] [D]
