Country Down

G         C   G          C


[Verse 1]
C     C/B   Am
Oh country down
G                        C
Where I found my proving ground
C    C/B           Am
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       Am      G
Just a mile outside of town


[Verse 2]
C       C/B   Am
Down-river bound
G                                
Where the limit to your sky fell 
C
down
C              C/B  Am
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       Am      G
Just a mile outside of town

[Bridge 1]
D              F
What's the use in being found
Am                         G
When you can lose yourself in some 
good ground?
D                       F
In the weeds hiding downriver right 
next door
Am
There's no frame around your picture
G
Just a view through my back door

[Verse 3]
C     C/B  Am
Time evermore
         G                         
You just found what you're looking 
C
for

C       C/B  Am   
E|-----| A tiger rose 

        G                   C
Growing through your prison door
G              C
Reaching for sunlight
      G         C
Can't see it anymore
G      F         Am      G
Just a mile from my back door


[Bridge 2]
D                      F
You could wake up on a lifeboat 
'neath the sun
Am
On a ladder up to the sky
G
You're standing on the lowest rung
D                   F
Holding a lifeline, using my best 
defense
Am                      G
Running in the undertow I couldn't 
fight against


[Verse 4]
C      C/B  Am
Oh lay me down
G                         C
Where we found my proving ground
C           C/B    Am
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       Am      G
Just a mile outside of town
