Intro
G# C# G# C#
[Verse 1]
C# C#/C A#m
Oh country down
G# C#
Where I found my proving ground
C# C#/C A#m
All along the floodline
G# C#
Wheels are turning around
G# C#
The hills roll out like centuries
G# C#
Pass by without a sound
G# F# A#m G#
Just a mile outside of town
[Verse 2]
C# C#/C A#m
Down-river bound
G# C#
Where the limit to your sky fell down
C# C#/C A#m
A# plot against your will
G# C#
Is furrowed into your brow
G# C#
Against your better judgment
G# C#
It's all behind you now
G# F# A#m G#
Just a mile outside of town
[Bridge 1]
D# F#
What's the use in being found
A#m G#
When you can lose yourself in some good ground?
D# F#
In the weeds hiding downriver right next door
A#m
There's no frame around your picture
G#
Just a view through my back door
[Harmpnica solo]
C# C#/C A#m G# C# x2
G# C# G# C#
G# F# A#m G#
[Verse 3]
C# C#/C A#m
Time evermore
G# C#
You just found what you're looking for
C# C#/C A#m
----- A# tiger rose
G# C#
Growing through your prison door
G# C#
Reaching for sunlight
G# C#
Can't see it anymore
G# F# A#m G#
Just a mile from my back door
[Bridge 2]
D# F#
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
A#m
On a ladder up to the sky
G#
You're standing on the lowest rung
D# F#
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense
A#m G#
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
[Verse 4]
C# C#/C A#m
Oh lay me down
G# C#
Where we found my proving ground
C# C#/C A#m
All along the floodline
G# C#
Waves are turning around
G# C#
The hills roll out like centuries
G# C#
Pass by without a sound
G# F# A#m G#
Just a mile outside of town
