Chord/Tab song: River Winding

CAPO: 1st Fret


INTRO: G

River winding[Em] through this mill town
My [C]hometown is dark by F[G]our
Winter coming,[Em] the mills have long shut down and[C]
No one's working[D] anymore

And I [Em]drove by McDonalds
And a [C]long line just followed
From a [G]posting today for a [D]job[G]
River winding[Em] through the darkness
Al[C]ways to rise and f[G]all

River winding,[Em] you wouldn't believe
How many [C]souls were glued right [G]here
Winter coming,[Em] everyone's got shoes but [C]
No one knows how to [D]get through the year

When I [Em]drove by my high school
And the [C]students are so few now[G]
So many families hav[D]e left[G]
River winding[Em] through the darkness
Some[C]times cursed and sometimes [Em]blessed

INSTRUMENTAL: C G D G Em C G

River winding,[Em] sparkling in the moonlight[C]
Cleaner than it's b[G]een
But the main street store fronts[Em] are mostly empty now[C]
Hand written signs, '[D]Space For Rent'

And I [Em]drove by the factories
And the [C]windows were broken
Where the [G]lights used to be always [D]on[G]
River winding[Em] through the darkness
Al[C]ways to move a[Em]long, a[D]long [G]
