G I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air A D I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind. [Chorus] Em Can you deny, there's nothin' greater G D nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, A D but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye. (banjo solo) [Verse 2] G Seein' traces of the scars that came before A D written in the pavement, still askin' for more G when the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs A D To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame. [Chorus] Em Can you deny, there's nothin' greater G D nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, A D but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye. [Solo] [Verse 3] G Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet A D throw away the bad news and put it to rest G If learnin' is livin', and the truth is a state of mind A D you'll find it's better at the end of the line. [Chorus] Em Can you deny, there's nothin' greater G D nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, A D but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye. D Em G D Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, A D but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
