[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
