Country Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh [C]country down[Am]
Where I [G]found my proving [C]ground
All along [Am]the [G]floodline
Wheels are turning [C]around
The [G]hills roll out like [C]centuries
Pass [G]by without [C]a sound[G]
Just a [Am]mile outside [G]of town

[Verse 2]
[C]Down river [Am]bound
Where the [G]limit to your sky fell [C]down
A plot against [Am]your will
Is [G]furrowed into [C]your brow
[G]Against your better judg[C]ment
[G]It's all behind [C]you now[G]
Just a [Am]mile outside of town
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
What's the use [F]of
being [Am]found?
You can lose [G]yourself
in some good [C]ground[D]
In the weeds hiding down
[F]river right next door
[Am]There's no frame around your picture
Just a [G]view through my back door

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][G]
[C][Am][G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][F][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Time ever[Am]more
You just [G]found what you're looking [C]for
A tiger [Am]rose growing [G]through
your prison [C]door[G]
Reaching for sun[C]light,
can't [G]see it anymore
[C]Jus[G]t a mile f[Am]rom my
back [G]door[D]

[Verse 5]
You could wake up on [F]a
lifeboat 'neath the sun
[Am]On a ladder up to the sky
You're [G]standing on the lowest
[Am]rung[D]
Holding a lifeline,
[F]using my best [Am]defense
Riding in the undertow my [G]heart

[Verse 6]
couldn't fight against
[C]Oh lay [Am]me down
Where we [G]found my proving [C]ground
All [G]along [Am]the [G]floodline
Waves are turning around
[C]The [G]hills roll out like cen[C]turies
Pass [G]by without [C]a sound[G]
Just a [Am]mile outside of town
[G][C]
