Big River Ballad

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
 
C     Am    C    Am    F 
(x2)
 
[Verse 1]
 
C                     Am                     F            C
I'm at the mouth of a big, big river and I'm surely gonna drown
C                   Am                   F               C
I guess I'd like to taste that river and how far I'll go down
G                        Am        F               C
And now I see it in your eyes, you know where I've been
C           F        C           F      C        G          C
And where I haven't, it's just a habit, it meant nothing at all
 
[Chorus]
 
C      B/C  Am       B/C   C
You'll find me at the bottom
C B/C Am               B/C  C
Of a raging river or a bottle
C     B/C  Am          B/C  C
Grace will lead I will follow
C   B/C  Am     B/C    C
Faithfully till tomorrow
C    G           C
Lord knows I'm a liar
 
[Intro Repeat]
 
C     Am    C    Am    F 
(x2)
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                     Am                   F                      C
I'm at the mouth of a big, big river and I know that it's sink or swim
C                   Am                  F                 C
I'm drunk enough to test that river and how deep I'll get in
G                    Am           F       C
Guess I used to have control, now I don't know
C        F         C            F         C        F          C
What I'm thinking it's just the drinking, it meant nothing at all
 
[Chorus]
 
C      B/C  Am       B/C   C
You'll find me at the bottom
C B/C Am               B/C  C
Of a raging river or a bottle
C     B/C  Am          B/C  C
Grace will lead I will follow
C   B/C  Am     B/C    C
Faithfully till tomorrow
C    G           C
Lord knows I'm a liar
 
[Intro Repeat]
 
C     Am    C    Am    F 
(x2)
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                     Am                     F            C
I'm at the mouth of a big, big river and I'm surely gonna die
C              Am               F                 C
But if I do or if I don't we'll meet on the other side
G                    Am        F           C
Guess I used to feel alive now I'm paralyzed
C           F      C      F         C             F          C
But I still feel it in my heartbeat, but it means nothing at all
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C      B/C  Am       B/C   C
You'll find me at the bottom
C B/C Am               B/C  C
Of a raging river or a bottle
C     B/C  Am          B/C  C
Grace will lead I will follow
C   B/C  Am     B/C    C
Faithfully till tomorrow
C     G             C
Now I know you're a liar
