[First Part]
Bm I see double up ahead
Em Where the riverboat Swayed beneath the sun
Bm Is where the river runs red
Em Like a king who stalks The wings and shoots a dove
Bm And frees an eagle instead
F#m G It's more or less the same
A As the things that you said
Bm I see trouble up the road
Em Like the things you found In love are by the way
Bm And like to cheat on your soul
Continues after the ad
Em Like the best and worst Of thoughts that lose control
Em Before you lie on your bed [Pre-Chorus]
F#m G It's more or less the same
A As the things that you said [Chorus]
Bm D E And anyway for all the things you know
A Bm Tell me why does the river not flow
D E Anyway for all the things you said
A Bm Tell me why does the river run red
D E And anyway for all the things you've seen
A Bm Tell me when will the river run green
A G#m And anyway for all the things you know
F#m Bm Tell me why does the river not flow
( Bm ) [Second Part]
Em It's more or less the things
Bm You fail to say in your way that's your trouble
Em Like a king who stalks the wings And shoots the moon and the stars
Bm And his double [Pre-Chorus]
F#m G A It's more or less the same as the things that you said [Chorus]
Bm D E And anyway for all the things you know
A Bm Tell me why does the river not flow
D E Anyway for all the things you said
A Bm Tell me why does the river run red
D E And anyway for all the things you've seen
A Bm Tell me when will the river run green
A G#m And anyway for all the things you know
F#m Bm Tell me why does the river not flow
[Solo] Bm Em Bm Em Bm F#m Bm [Third Part]
Bm I see double up ahead
Em Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun
Bm Is where the river runs red
F#m Bm I see double, that's my trouble
