The Wooden Sky - River Song One
Tabbed by: Eric Zillinger, 2018

Verse:
C majorC       FF     A minorAm     FF
I watched the water roll in off the river
     C majorC       FF      C majorC
And said "My dear we're in for it now"
     A minorAm      E minorEm
You said "Lay your head down
    A minorAm     E minorEm
Next to mine on the ground
     FF       G+G       C majorC    C majorC
And if the lord doesn't save us we'll drown"

Verse:
C majorC       FF     A minorAm     FF
So we both lay there shaking our hands in the river
C majorC      FF     C majorC
Saying "I'm sure we were born just to die"
       A minorAm      E minorEm
But when the water rushed in
    A minorAm    E minorEm
I gave in to my sins
  FF      G+G       C majorC
And found my own way to higher ground


Verse:
C majorC       FF     A minorAm     FF
Where I watched as the water took hold of your body
C majorC      FF     C majorC
From high on my hill of retreat
    A minorAm    E minorEm
You smiled up at me
    A minorAm    E minorEm
Amongst the bodies and trees
    FF       G+G       C majorC    C majorC
I didn't sleep for a week after that


Verse:
C majorC       FF     A minorAm     FF
Finally the river let go of your body
C majorC      FF     C majorC
And my mind drifted off into sleep
    A minorAm    E minorEm
But your eyes came to me
    A minorAm    E minorEm
Disguised as the sea
  FF      G+G       C majorC
Saying "I can't forgive you for this"


Verse:
C majorC       FF     A minorAm     FF
Please darling, please, you're much stronger than me
C majorC      FF     C majorC
And I've tried all my days to believe
    A minorAm    E minorEm
You said "Don't come around
    A minorAm    E minorEm
The next time you get down
  FF      G+G       C majorC
Looking to me for release"
