Intro
F A# F A#
[Verse 1]
A# A#/A Gm
Oh country down
F A#
Where I found my proving ground
A# A#/A Gm
All along the floodline
F A#
Wheels are turning around
F A#
The hills roll out like centuries
F A#
Pass by without a sound
F D# Gm F
Just a mile outside of town
[Verse 2]
A# A#/A Gm
Down-river bound
F A#
Where the limit to your sky fell down
A# A#/A Gm
G plot against your will
F A#
Is furrowed into your brow
F A#
Against your better judgment
F A#
It's all behind you now
F D# Gm F
Just a mile outside of town
[Bridge 1]
C D#
What's the use in being found
Gm F
When you can lose yourself in some good ground?
C D#
In the weeds hiding downriver right next door
Gm
There's no frame around your picture
F
Just a view through my back door
[Harmpnica solo]

[Verse 3]
A# A#/A Gm
Time evermore
F A#
You just found what you're looking for
A# A#/A Gm
----- G tiger rose
F A#
Growing through your prison door
F A#
Reaching for sunlight
F A#
Can't see it anymore
F D# Gm F
Just a mile from my back door
[Bridge 2]
C D#
You could wake up on a lifeboat 'neath the sun
Gm
On a ladder up to the sky
F
You're standing on the lowest rung
C D#
Holding a lifeline, using my best defense
Gm F
Running in the undertow I couldn't fight against
[Verse 4]
A# A#/A Gm
Oh lay me down
F A#
Where we found my proving ground
A# A#/A Gm
All along the floodline
F A#
Waves are turning around
F A#
The hills roll out like centuries
F A#
Pass by without a sound
F D# Gm F
Just a mile outside of town
