Intro:

Am Am7 Am Gsus4 x4

Verse 1:
Am   Am7 Am       Gsus4           Am
Open the throttle and lay out the lines
Am   Am7 Am        Gsus4         Am
Pray the immovable objects don't find
F7                G              Am
The hull, as they wait, wait for me

Am7 Am Gsus4 Am

Am   Am7   Am        Gsus4     Am
If I ain't mistaken, rain is a-coming
Am   Am7    Am          Gsus4         Am
Cold nights and bloody, lonely, still mornings
F7              G               Am
Show all that's calm soon won't be

Chorus:
F                 C
Down to the river to wash out my eyes
G                      Am
Drown out the lies and cleanse all that might as well
F                 C                  G
Poison the veins, rot every sense to see
         Am
All that frees

Am Am7 Am Gsus4 x2

Verse 2:
Am  Am7    Am       Gsus4             Am
Out of the gate and down from the heavens
Am   Am7       Am            Gsus4    Am
It rained like the 40 nights to drown seven
F7      G                 Am
All and everything blossoming

Am Am7 Am Gsus4 Am

Am    Am7 Am        Gsus4           Am
Judge not the cause and effect of a notion
Am  Am7   Am      Gsus4     Am
Vision is blurry, future is stolen
F7          G             Am
So take our stand and our seat

Chorus:
F                 C
Down to the river to wash out my eyes
G                      Am
Drown out the lies and cleanse all that might as well
F                 C                  G
Poison the veins, rot every sense to see
F                       C
All that frees the will of the wild
G                    Am
Standing or running, the world hears your calling
F                 C                    G
Stop and consider years without you or me
              Am
It's plain to see

Re-Verse 1:
Am   Am7 Am       Gsus4           Am
Open the throttle and lay out the lines

Pray the immovable objects don't find
F7                G              Am
The hull, as they wait, wait for me, yeah

Chorus:
F                 C
Down to the river to wash out my eyes
G                      Am
Drown out the lies and cleanse all that might as well
F                 C                  G
Poison the veins, rot every sense to see
F                       C
All that frees the will of the wild
G                    Am
Standing or running, the world hears your calling
F                 C                    G
Stop and consider years without you or me
