Capo 2

D(add2) E MajorE [2x]

C# minorC#m          E MajorE
Counting the winters, numb too cold
C# minorC#m            E MajorE
Searching the valley, for secrets untold
   C# minorC#m            E MajorE
The mountains are children, to someone so old
  D(add2)          E MajorE
A augmentedA king without kingdom or throne
D(add2)          E MajorE
Digging the mud and the stone

C# minorC#m             E MajorE
All men have left here but you have remained
    C# minorC#m          E MajorE
At the banks of the river, forever the same
 C# minorC#m               E MajorE
Though no water flows here, the memory stays
  D(add2)          E MajorE
As long as it stays you are here
D(add2)         E MajorE
Heart broken year after year

E MajorE
People running away, running like strangers day after day
C# minorC#m           E MajorE
Breathe in, you're not alone
BB C# minorC#m BB C# minorC#m D MajorD C# minorC#m BB  C# minorC#m A augmentedA   E MajorE
Golden river running from her home

C# minorC#m         E MajorE
The sun was an altar, before reaching out
   C# minorC#m            E MajorE
And raised up the dagger, that hung from his belt
  C# minorC#m              E MajorE
He cursed his disillusion and the sadness he felt
 D(add2)        E MajorE
Weeping at what he'd become,
    D(add2)         E MajorE
just a fool in the gold of the sun

E MajorE
People running away, running like strangers day after day
C# minorC#m           E MajorE
Breathe in, you're not alone

BB C# minorC#m BB C# minorC#m D MajorD C# minorC#m BB  C# minorC#m A augmentedA
Golden river running from her home [4x]

E MajorE
