Verse 1:
C majorC
She was sittin’ down at the river
FF C majorC
Watching the clouds roll by
C majorC
Daddy said “One day baby
C majorC FF C majorC
You’ll have to spread your wings and fly”
C majorC
Momma and daddy were good folks
FF C majorC
But they did not understand
A minorAm G+G
So she started chasing rainbows
C majorC
Just to clear her head
A minorAm
And the ties that bind
G+G
Hurt her more
C majorC
Than the road that lay ahead
Chorus:
FF C majorC
And she said I’m leaving
G+G
And it’s gonna be alright
FF C majorC
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
G+G
And I’m ready for the fight
FF C majorC
Scars will fade and the memories remain
G+G A minorAm
But the pain will make it right
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Verse 2:
C majorC
Well she met a man one sunny day
FF C majorC
He said “There’s no one like you”
C majorC
So she fell in love and swore on her grave that she’d
FF C majorC
Be there the whole way through
C majorC
All she wanted was only forever
FF C majorC
And he just couldn’t explain
A minorAm G+G
How the way she moved lit up the room
C majorC
But it caused him so much pain
A minorAm G+G
Eyes in the rearview she bowed her head
C majorC
And wondered if it ain’t all the same
Chorus:
FF C majorC
And she said I’m leaving
G+G
And it’s gonna be alright
FF C majorC
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
G+G
And I think I know what’s right
FF C majorC
I’ve learned by now to feel no pain
G+G A minorAm
And it’s just a part of life
FF C majorC G+G C majorC

Verse 3:
C majorC
Well she was still chasing rainbows
FF C majorC
Running from the storms trapped in her mind
C majorC
To her surprise when she reached the end
FF C majorC
There was no gold in sight
C majorC
Now she’s all alone and her house is no home
FF C majorC
But there’s a spark left in her eye
A minorAm G+G
Now she’s sittin’ down at the river
C majorC
Watching the clouds roll by
A minorAm G+G
Her old wrinkled hand searching
C majorC
For the gun by her side
Chorus:
FF C majorC
And she said I’m leaving
G+G
And it’s gonna be alright
FF C majorC
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
G+G
And I can see a light
FF C majorC
Right on top of the world
G+G A minorAm
With all the stars out that night
FF C majorC
That river keeps running through her dreams
G+G C majorC
Everything’s gonna be alright
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
