Smog- River Guard (from the album Knock Knock) Very Simple, very beautiful song. This is based on the Live version and Black Cab Sessions versions. The album version is half a step down (ie. the progression is G#-F#-A#m) All chords barred- A G Bm A G Bm When I take the prisoners swimming A G Bm They have the time of their lives A G Bm I love to watch them floating On their backs Unburden and relaxed I sit in the tall grass and look the other way And when I hall them in they always sing Our sencencess will not served We are constantly on trial It's a way to be free Most nights I go for a drive To to the highest place I can find Stand there on a cliff with gooseflesh Watching the wind rip the leaves of the trees Death defying Every breath Death defying Soon we all be back in the yard Behind the wall Leaving heart Dreaming of cool rivers and tall grass We are constantly on trial It's a way to be free We are constantly on trial It's a way to be free
