Capo 2
[Intro]
D(add2) E (2x)
[Verse]
C#m E
Counting the winters, numb to the core
C#m E
Searching the valley, for secrets untold
C#m E
The mountains are children, to someone so old
D(add2) E
A king without kingdom or throne
D(add2) E
Digging the mud and the stone
C#m E
All men have left here but you have remained
C#m E
At the banks of the river, forever the same
C#m E
Though no water flows here, the memory stays
D(add2) E
As long as it stays you are here
D(add2) E
Heartbroken year after year
[Chorus 1]
E
People running away, running like strangers day after day
C#m E
Leave him alone
B C#m B C#m D C#m B C#m A E
Golden river running from her home
[Verse]
C#m E
The sun was an altar, before which he knelt
C#m E
And raised up the dagger, that hung from his belt
C#m E
He cursed his delusions and the sadness he felt
D(add2) E
Weeping at what he'd become,
D(add2) E
just a fool in the gold of the sun
[Chorus 2]
E
People running away, running like strangers day after day
C#m E
Leave him alone
B C#m B C#m D C#m B C#m A
Golden river running from her home (4x)
[Ending]
E
