River Winding

INTRO: G

             Em
River winding through this mill town
   C                    G
My hometown is dark by Four
              Em                   
Winter coming, the mills have long 
              C
shut down and
                D
No one's working anymore


      Em
And I drove by McDonalds
      C
And a long line just followed
       G                   D     G
From a posting today for a job
             Em
River winding through the darkness
  C                 G
Always to rise and fall

River winding, you wouldn't believe
         C                      G
How many souls were glued right here
              Em                   
Winter coming, everyone's got shoes
     C
 but
                    D
No one knows how to get through the 
year


       Em
When I drove by my high school
        C                       G
And the students are so few now
                    D        G
So many families have left
             Em
River winding through the darkness
    C                         
Sometimes cursed and sometimes 
 Em
blessed

              Em               
River winding, sparkling in the 
           C
moonlight
                   G
Cleaner than it's been
                                Em 
But the main street store fronts 
                   C
are mostly empty now
                     D
Hand written signs, 'Space For Rent'


      Em
And I drove by the factories
        C
And the windows were broken
          G                        
Where the lights used to be always 
D    G
on
             Em
River winding through the darkness
  C             Em     D      G
Always to move along, along
