[Intro 1]
[Am][G][F][G][Em]
[Am][G][F][G][Em]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I [Am]heard a story from the man in red
He said, the [C]leaves are fallin' down
Such a beautiful sound
[Am]Son, I think you'd better go ahead
But you [C]always hold your head up high
Cause [Am]it's a long, long, long way down
This town was [C]meant for passing through
Boy, it ain't nothin' new
[Dm]Now go a[Am]nd show 'em that
the world stayed round
But it's [F]a long, long,

[Interlude 1]
long way down
[Em][C][Dm][Am][C]
[F][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
You better [C]run for the hills
Before they burn
Listen [Am]to the sound of the world
Don't watch it turn
I just want [Dm]to show you what I [Em]know
And catch you when the [F]current
Lets you [G]go

[Verse 3]
Or should I just [C]get along with myself?
I never [Am]did get along
with everybody else
I've been [G]tryin' [C]hard to do what's right
But you know [Am]I could stay here
All [G]night[F]
And watch the clouds fall from [C]the sky[Dm]
This [G]river is [C]wild[Am]
This river is wild
[C][Am]

[Verse 4]
[G]
[C]Run for the hills before they burn
[Dm]Listen to [Am]the sound of the world
Don't watch it turn
I shake a little
[C]Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk
[Dm]I shake a little
[Am]Sometimes I hate the line I walk
I just wanna [Dm]to show you what I [Em]know
Catch you [C]when the [F]current
Lets you [G]go

[Verse 5]
Or should I just [C]get along with myself?
I never did [Am]get along with
everybody else
I've [C]been trying hard to do what's right
But you know [Am]I could stay here
All [F]night
And watch the clouds fall [Em]from [Dm]the sky
[G]Because this river is [Am]wild[G][F]
Godspeed ya, [G]boy[Em][Am]
This river is wild
[G][F]

[Verse 6]
[G][Em]
Now [C]Adam's taking bombs,
and he's stuck on his mom
Be[Dm]cause that [Am]bitch keeps
tryin' to make him pray
He's [G]with the [C]hippie in the park,
combing over the dark
Just [Am]try in' to get some
of that little- girl play
You [G]better

[Verse 7]
[F]run for the hills
[Em]before they burn
Listen to [Dm]the sound of the world
Don't [C]watch it turn
I just want [Dm]to show you what
I [Em]know
And catch you when the [F]current
Lets you [G]go

[Verse 8]
Or should I get [C]along with myself?
I [Dm]never did [F]get along with
every[Em]body [C]else
I've been [Em]tryin' [G]hard to do what's [Am]right
But you know [C]I could stay h[F]ere
All night
And watch the clouds fall [C]from
[Dm]the sky[G][F]
This pain is hell in me to[G]night
Because this river [Am]is wi[G]ld[F]
Godspeed ya, [G]boy[Em][Am]
This river is [G]wild[F][G][Em][Am]
This river is [G]wild[F]
Godspeed ya, [G]boy[Em][Am]
This river is wild
[G][F]

[Verse 9]
[G][Em]
And [C]cars are everywhere
Raisin' dust at the fairground
I don't think I ever seen
so many head[C]lights
[G]But there's somethin' pullin' me[Am]
[C]The circus and the crew
Well, they're just [G]passin' through
Makin' [Am]sure the merry [G]still goes 'round
But it's a long, long, long way down
[C]
