Eb5
Leaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
          C5
I heard a story from the man in red
              Eb5
He said "The leaves are fallin' down

Such a beautiful sound
       C5
Son, I think you'd better go ahead
        Eb5
But you always hold your head up high
              C5
'Cause it's a long, long, long way down
              Eb5
This town was meant for passing through
       
Boy it ain't nothin' new
           C5
Now go and show 'em that the world stayed round
            Ab5                  G5    F5   Eb5  Eb5  Ab5  G5 Bb5          
But it's a long, long, long way down
           Eb5
You better run for the hills

Before they burn
              C5
Listen to the sound of the world

Don't watch it turn
               F5            G5
I just want to show you what I know
                       Ab5
And catch you when the current
        Bb5
Lets you go
                 Eb5             
Or should I just get along with myself
            C5
I never did get along with everybody else
                 Eb5
I've been tryin' hard to do what's right
             C5                            Ab5
But you know I could stay here, all night
                                   F5                                  
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
     Bb5              Eb5       C5
This river is wild
                  
This river is wild   Eb5       C5    Bb5




Eb5
Run for the hills before they burn
              C5
Listen to the sound of the world

Don't watch it turn

I shake a little
Eb5
Sometimes I'm nervous when I talk

I shake a little
C5
Sometimes I hate the line I walk
               F5            G5
I just want to show you what I know
                       Ab5
And catch you when the current
        Bb5
Lets you go
                 Eb5             
Or should I just get along with myself
            C5
I never did get along with everybody else
                 Eb5
I've been tryin' hard to do what's right

And watch the clouds fall from the sky
                       C5 Bb5 Bb5 C5 Ab5
Because this river is wild
             Ab5 Bb5 G5 Ab5 C5
Godspeed ya, boy
              C5 Bb5 Bb5 C5 Ab5 Ab5 Bb5 G5 Ab5

Now Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom
             C5
Because that bitch keeps tryin' to make him pray
              Eb5
He's with the hippie in the park combing over the dark
               C5
Just tryin' to get some of that little-girl play
            Ab5                G5 
You better run for the hills before they burn
              F5    
Listen to the sound of the world
       Eb5
Don't watch it turn
               F5            G5

But you know I could stay here

All night
Ab5                                 F5   Bb5
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
Ab5                         Bb5
This pain is hell in me tonight

                       C5 Bb5 Bb5 C5 Ab5
Because this river is wild
             Ab5 Bb5 G5 Ab5 C5

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
