Verse 1:
C
She was sittin’ down at the river
F                        C
Watching the clouds roll by
C
Daddy said “One day baby
C              F                     C
You’ll have to spread your wings and fly”
C

Momma and daddy were good folks
          F           C
But they did not understand
       Am              G
So she started chasing rainbows
C
Just to clear her head
        Am
And the ties that bind
G
Hurt her more
         C
Than the road that lay ahead


Chorus:

F                C
And she said I’m leaving
         G
And it’s gonna be alright
          F            C
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
        G
And I’m ready for the fight
F                       C
Scars will fade and the memories remain
        G                 Am
But the pain will make it right

F C G C

Verse 2:

C
Well she met a man one sunny day
          F                  C
He said “There’s no one like you”
C
So she fell in love and swore on her grave that she’d
F                      C
Be there the whole way through
C
All she wanted was only forever
F                    C
And he just couldn’t explain
        Am            G
How the way she moved lit up the room
C
But it caused him so much pain
Am                      G
Eyes in the rearview she bowed her head
C
And wondered if it ain’t all the same


Chorus:

F               C
And she said I’m leaving
         G
And it’s gonna be alright
          F             C
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
      G
And I think I know what’s right
     F                  C
I’ve learned by now to feel no pain
         G          Am
And it’s just a part of life

Verse 3:

C
Well she was still chasing rainbows
                 F                     C
Running from the storms trapped in her mind
C
To her surprise when she reached the end
          F          C
There was no gold in sight
C
Now she’s all alone and her house is no home
              F                 C
But there’s a spark left in her eye
          Am                  G
Now she’s sittin’ down at the river
C
Watching the clouds roll by
Am                    G
Her old wrinkled hand searching
C
For the gun by her side

Chorus:

F                C
And she said I’m leaving
         G
And it’s gonna be alright
          F            C
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
G
And I can see a light
F                   C
Right on top of the world
G                           Am
With all the stars out that night
F                                    C
That river keeps running through her dreams
     G                C
Everything’s gonna be alright
