Sparse Strumming
^CShivering from the late fall c^Gold, I felt like a s^Dolid ghost. I ran and then I couldn't slow^C. My father f^Gound me though, my father t^Dook me home. ^Dsus4He said^D, oh, s^Con, I saw you get knocked do^Gwn, and I ran ^Dout I bet your head was spinning. With that br^Cight pain you stunned,

resume strumming

when you^G've only just begun to be only ^Djust beginning. ^Dsus4

T^Dossed in the ^Cviper pit, all those ^Gfeelings and fears, and all that di^Dfficult shit in all those tender ^Dsus4years. ^D There was ^Csomething in the air; something ^Ggathered in the air. Something ^Dsinging in the wind.

^Dsus4I'll b^De your ^Cfighter and you'll be my m^Girror. And you'll be all r^Dight because I'll be right here. ^Dsus4Oh kid^D, now I'm not ^Cgoing anywhere. I s^Gwear I'll try to not be going a^Dnywhere. ^Dsus4 ^D ^CThough it's not all ^Gright. It is still far fro^Dm all right. ^Dsus4 ^DWe'll make it into a c^Choice somehow. I don't ^Gknow, but you'll have a c^Dhoice somehow. ^Dsus4 ^D

Down a ^Chall in your house, down a ^Groad in December Down, down, do^Dwn the deep river, down, down, down the deep ^Dsus4river ^D We can ^Cnever go back; we can only ^Gremember Down, down, do^Dwn the deep river, down, down, down the deep ^Dsus4river ^D

Down a hall in your house, down a road in December Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river Up the stairs four flights, son; can you feel my heart shiver' Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river Waking in the dawn with that dream getting dimmer and dimmer.
