[A][Bm]

[Verse 1]
Oh, sweet [G]May morn[D]ing[A]
Yeah, ly[G]ing [Asus4]in bed
[A]with [Bm]nothing [G]to say
We'll pretend all [D]we wanna
[A]
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on my [Bm]way
Sing [G]me [D]a river

[Verse 2]
[Asus4](sing me [A]a r[Asus4]iver)
Oh, go [G]easy [Asus4]on me,
[A]I'm not [G]doing too well
Do you hate me, hon[D]ey [Asus4](hate me,
hon[D]ey)
As much [A]as I hate my[Bm]self?
[G]Heart [D]like a levee

[Verse 3]
[A](heart like
[Asus4]a levee)
I swing [G]for the moun[D]tains
[Bm]in d[G]ouble- time
Is it too heavy, [D]honey? [A](Is it too heavy,
[Asus4]honey?)
[A]Did I carry my piece of [Bm]the fire?
Standing [Asus4]in the wake[A]

[Verse 4]
[D][A]
with the sky [Bm]still changing
[G]What's it going to [Asus4]take
[A][D][A]
[Bm]Oh, to keep you [D]missing [G]this rambling
[A]rake [Bm]with a heart of ob[G]sidian?
Standing [Asus4]in the wake[A][D][A]
with the sky [Bm]still [G]changing
Oh, sing me [D]a river

[Verse 5]
[A](sing me a
[D]river)
I'm a peach [G]tree jump[Asus4]er
with [D]rain in [G]my shoes
If you let me, [D]honey [A](let me, [D]honey)
I'll set [A]the world [D]on fire [Bm]for you

[Verse 6]
Oh, sing [G]me a sum[D]mer [A](sing me
[Asus4]a summer)[A]
Oh, that [G]Cincinnati [A]moon
like a [Bm]wheel in [G]the sky
Shows two roads,
hon[D]ey [A](two roads, honey)
Tell [D]me which [A]one[D] leads
[A]to mine?[Bm]
Yeah, sing, [G]little sis

[Verse 7]
[D]ter[A]
(sing, little sister)
Be pa[G]tient with [A]me when
I [Bm]don't [G]have a rhyme
Will you grieve me, [D]honey?[A]
Did I give you a reason [Bm]to try?

[Verse 8]
Standing [A]in the wake[Asus4][D][A]
with the sky [Bm]still chan[D]ging[G]
What's it going [A]to take,[Asus4][D][A][Asus4][A]
[Bm]oh, to keep [G]you from taking this so [D]seri[Asus4]ous?
[D]I k[A]now the dead a[Bm]re raging[G]
Standing [Asus4]in the wake, [D]yes I'v[Bm]e seen the[D] changes[G]

Do you hear me [D]running?[A]
Did I carry my piece of [Bm]the fire?
