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
