Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

this might look tricky but you simply play each chord for each note):

Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground

 I heard a story from the man in red

 He said "The leaves are fallin' down

Such a beautiful sound

 Son, I think you'd better go ahead

 But you always hold your head up high

 'Cause it's a long, long, long way down

 This town was meant for passing through

Boy it ain't nothin' new

 Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round

 But it's a long, long, long way down

 You better run for the hills

Before they burn

 Listen to the sound of the world

Don't watch it turn

 I just want to show you what I know

 And catch you when the current

 Lets you go

 Or should I just get along with myself

 I never did get along with everybody else

 I've been tryin' hard to do what's right

 But you know I could stay here, all night

 And watch the clouds fall from the sky

 This river is wild

 This river is wild

Run for the hills before they burn

 Listen to the sound of the world

Don't watch it turn

I shake a little

Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk

I shake a little

Sometimes I hate the line I walk

 I just want to show you what I know

 And catch you when the current

 Lets you go

 Or should I just get along with myself

 I never did get along with everybody else

 I've been tryin' hard to do what's right

 But you know I could stay here, all night

 And watch the clouds fall from the sky

 Because this river is wild

 Godspeed ya, boy

 This river is wild

Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom

 Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray

 He's with the hippie in the park combing over the dark

 Just tryin' to get some of that little-girl play

 You better run for the hills before they burn

 Listen to the sound of the world

 Don't watch it turn

 I just want to show you what I know

 And catch you when the current

 Lets you go

 Or should I get along with myself

 I never did get along with everybody else

 I've been tryin' hard to do what's right

 But you know I could stay here

All night

And watch the clouds fall from the sky

This pain is hell in me tonight

 Because this river is wild

 Godspeed ya, boy

 This river is wild

 Because this river is wild

 Godspeed ya, boy

 This river is wild

And cars are everywhere

Raisin' dust at the fairground

I don't think I ever seen so many headlights

But there's somethin' pullin' me

The circus and the crew

Well they're just passin' through

Makin' sure the merry still goes 'round

But it's a long, long, long way down
