Of You

Intro 
Em Em G D 


Em            G          D       Em 
A river flows across the western sky, 
G               D              Em 
Mama tells you, "It's gonna be alright, 
         G                D                 Em 
You just gotta' keep your head up along the ride," 
G                 D            Em 
Figure it out and make up your mind." 

Em G D x2 

 
       Em        G    D     A 
As the birds fly over these mountains, 
  Em          G       D          A 
I wonder what message they bring, 
       Em        G        D    A 
As the birds fly near the riverside, 
  Em          G    D     A 
I wonder what they think, 
   Bm   F#m  D A  G    A 
Of you, you, you, you, you 
Em G D 
You

Em               G               D 
Mama tells you, "Somethin' ain't right," 
        Em          G      D 
Now you gotta learn how to fight, 
Em                   G      D 
Keep your head down, out of sight, 
    Em                 G      D 
The decision you made, wasn't right. 

Em G D 


       Em        G    D     A 
As the birds fly over these mountains, 
        Em         G       D     A 
And the river is unsafe to drink, 
       Em          G        D    A 
As the birds drink from the riverside, 
  Em          G    D     A 
I wonder what they think, 
   Bm   F#m  D A  G    A 
Of you, you, you, you, you 
Em G D 
You 

Em G D x3 


Em                         G                  D 
Mama, on her dying breath, tells you what to do, 
 Em                        G          D 
"Change your life; make it better for you, 
  Em                G           D 
I pushed all I can, all the way through, 
    Em                       G    D 
You know when I'm gone, it's only you." 


Em G D x3 


       Em        G    D     A 
As the birds fly over these mountains, 
        Em      G         D    A 
And the rain continues to pour, 
       Em        G        D    A 
As the birds fly near the riverside, 
     Em           G     D       A 
They don't really think anymore, 
   Bm   F#m  D A  G    A 
Of you, you, you, you, you 

 
Bm    F#m   D      A 
Waste away, day to day, 
Bm   F#m    D       A 
Mama rests, let her lay, 
Bm    F#m    D       A 
Young again, time to play, 
Bm    F#m  D     A 
Birds fly, birds drink, 
G     A 
Birds think of 
Em G D 
You. 

Em G D 


       Em       G              D       A 
As the birds contrast with the western sky, 
  Em             G            D   A 
I wonder if they know they'll die, 
Em          G             D           A 
Closer, and closer to the ground they go, 
Em          G    D    A 
I wonder if they know, 
   Bm   F#m  D A  G    A 
Of you, you, you, you, you 
Em G D 
You
