The dying l[Dm]ight was nearly d[A]ead
By the [C#m]time we reached the water's e[A]dge.
We saw the r[Dm]iver beating on the ri[F]ver bank
For the w[C]ay that it held it in h[E]er riverbed.
It's c[B]old, it's d[A]ark,
It's not for pe[C]ople with uneasy he[E]arts.
But if you're wi[B]th me on the other s[A]ide,
Strike up the ba[C]nd; [G] we have surv[B]ived.
A E A E x3
And do they b[F#]eat that drum to get you back home,
Or do they beat it to keep you away?
Don't be sur[Dm]prised at your reg[A]rets.
Don't be sur[C#m]prised that the water made you w[A]et.
There's a sh[Dm]allow down river
Where the wa[F]ter will forgive you,
Soft s[C]kin, your lukewarm b[E]eds
Follow [B]me, oh follow [A]me;
Al[C]low me to play the voy[E]ager.
I'll try to k[B]eep you as dry
As the hol[A]lowed out tree that
You wo[C]uld be wra[G]pped in ano[B]ther man's fur
So take a d[A]ive[E][A][E]
Oh take a d[A]ive[E][A][E]
Oh take it o[A]ut on the ste[E]pping stones that m[A]ake the water l[E]ie
So take a d[C]ive, [E]oh take a d[C]ive[E]
Ohohoho[A]h-ohoh[E]oh, ohohoho[A]h-ohoh[E]oh
Take that h[C]air[E] out of y[C]our damned e[E]yes
While the wa[A]ves are r[E]ain
And the s[A]um you'll p[E]ay.
Do they b[F#]eat that drum to get you back home,
Or do they beat it to keep you away?
Will you [C#m]burn your bridges down[E]
Singing lalalalalalala
Will you [C#m]burn your bridges down[E]
Singing lalalalalalala
Will you [C#m]bang your drum to the blazing so[E]und
Singing lalalalalalala
Will you t[G]urn aw[B]ay?
How can you tu[G]rn aw[B]ay?
