[Intro] C9  G/B  D

Bm7                    D
Counting the winters, numb to the cold
Bm7                        D
Searching the valley, for secrets untold
    Bm7                         D
The mountains are children, to someone so old
  C9           G/B        D
A king without kingdom or throne
C9          G/B         D
Digging the mud and the stone

Bm7
All men have left here
    D
But you have remained
       Bm7                    D
At the banks of the river, forever the same
       Bm7                      D
Though no water flows here, the memory stays
   C9         G/B           D
As long as it stays you are here
C9           G/B        D
Heart broken year after year

D  D7M   G        D                 D7M       G         D
People  running away, running like strangers day after day
G          D
Leave him alone
A7  Bm    A  Bm     C9  Bm    A   Bm    G    D
Golden  river    running   from her   home

    Bm7                  D
The sun was an altar, before reaching out
    Bm7                         D
And raised up the dagger, that hung from his belt
   Bm7                             D
He cursed his disillusion and the sadness he felt
C9        G/B          D            C9          G/B         D
Weeping at what he'd become, just a fool in the gold of the sun

D  D7M   G        D                 D7M       G         D
People  running away, running like strangers day after day
G          D
Leave him alone
