The Dutchess and the Duke: The River
C Am F C
I went down to the river, I jumped right in and I drowned
C Am Dm G
But there was nobody to see me so I was never found
Dm Am F G
Nobody to come and call out my name and drag back my body to the ground
F G Am G
And that's how I always remember the day...
C Am F C
I went out to desert I laid right down and died
C Am Dm G
Wolves were eating my fingers and the vultures were coming for my eyes
Dm Am F G
With scorpions crawling all over my face my body was covered with flies
F G Am G
And that's how I always remember the day...
C Am Dm G
That I was born... born... born... born
Em Am
And every time the words still ring
Em Am
And all the scars still feel the same
F
And all the words don't mean a thing
Fm
I know the pain will start again
Em Am
If there's a darkness in my soul
Em Am
When will the darkness have a name
F
I'm moving faster and faster away
Fm
I'm moving faster and faster away
C
From the day I was born.
(Guitar solo, play verse chords)
C Am F C
I went up to the mountain, I buried myself in a cave
C Am Dm G
I made my peace with the silence, and I knew I would not be saved
Dm Am F G
I heard not a word nor whisper, and I quietly faded away
F G Am G
And that's how I always remember the day...
C Am Dm G
That I was born... born... born... born
Em Am
And all the faces start to fade,
Em Am
All the mistakes that I have made
F
And now the clouds can melt away
Fm
And now the sun can shine again
Em Am
If there's a darkness in my soul
Em Am
I?ll let the darkness walk with me
F
I'm moving faster and faster away
Fm
I'm moving faster and faster away
C
From the day I was born.
