The Riverbed

	  		
Intro: Am 

verse 1 
Am           C            Em          Am 
Moon, how it falls on the field down among us 
Am                C            Em         Am 
Rain falls on the king and his men on the riverbed 
Am          C          Em        Am 
Now, now we meet after all these years 

C         Em             Am 
Do you my king, do you remember me? 
C                Em     Am 
Yeah, I see your face before me now 
C                     G                      F                Am 
And I'm telling you tonight that I know we belong beyond this life 
C                     Em                             Am 
The war has taken its turn and it ain't ever turning back 


verse 2 
Am             C 
I grew to be a man 
          Em           Am 
A man who grew to be a king 
Am               C 
Got a job at the mill 
             Em                Am 
And when the war came I signed up for you 
                       C             Em          Am 
Every day now I send a letter to the people back home 
 
C             Em                         Am 
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived 
C                   Em                       Am 
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war 
C                       G                        F 
And I'm telling you the war that I fought It was wrong 
            Am 
And we must die 
C                       Em                    Am 
Well now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed

verse 3 
Am                     C           Em                Am 
Drums roll and we must go, we must go, the enemy is upon us 
Am             C        Em               Am 
Rise from your knee and now, pull to the bridge 

C                 Em                      Am 
Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now 
C         Em                 Am 
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed 
C                       G                        F 
For I'm telling you the war that I fought It was wrong 
            Am 
And we must die 
C                          Em                  Am 
It doesn't matter much now anyway, tonight we unite 


Coda 
Dm                                                     Am 
And when we're pushing through, I turn around one last time 
Dm                                                       Am 
And through the fire and the rain I see the king's white flag 
Em 
The king lives on, but everyone 
          Am 
Everybody dies
