[intro]

F  C  G
C  G  Am  F
F  C  G
G    Am

[verse]

F     C    G
Sweet May morning
C    G    Am     F
Lying in bed with nothing to say
F          C   G
We'll pretend all we wanna
             Am
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on my way

F     C    G
Sing me a river
  C   G      Am    F
Go easy on me, I'm not doing too well
    F    C    G
Do you hate me, honey
          Am
As much as I hate myself?

F      C    G
Heart like a levee
 C       G     Am    F
I swing for the mountains in double-time
   F     C    G
Is it too heavy, honey?
              Am
Did I carry my piece of the fire?


[chorus]

        G       Am        F
Standing in the wake with the sky still changing
          G    Am        F
What's it going to take to keep you missing
       G      Am      F
the rambling rake with a heart of obsidian?
        G       Am         F
Standing in the wake with the sky still changing

[verse]

F     C    G
Sing me a river
    C     G      Am     F
I'm a peach tree jumper with rain in my shoes
    F    C    G
If you let me, honey
              Am
I'll set the world on fire for you

F     C    G
Sing me a summer
     C     G       Am      F
Oh, that Cincinnati moon - like a wheel in the sky
   F     C    G
shows two roads, honey
              Am
Tell me which one leads to mine?

F     C    G
Sing, little sister
  C      G     Am      F
Be patient with me when I don't have a rhyme
     F     C   G
Will you grieve me, honey?
              Am
Did I give you a reason to try?

[chorus]
        G       Am        F
Standing in the wake with the sky still changing
          G    Am         F
What's it going to take to keep you from taking  this so
  G        Am       F
serious? I know the dead are raging
        G     Am          F
Standing in the wake - yes I've seen the changes


[verse]

F     C    G
Heart like a levee
 C       G     Am    F
I swing for the mountains in double-time
F       C    G
Do you hear me running?
              Am
