The Motherlode

D(add2)  E  (2x)

[Verse]
C#m                    E
Counting the winters, numb to the 
cold
C#m                        E
Searching the valley, for secrets 
untold
      C#m                     
The mountains are children, to 
  E
someone so old
   D(add2)                   E
A king without kingdom or throne
D(add2)                   E
Digging the mud and the stone
C#m                         E
All men have left here but you have 
remained
        C#m                   E
At the banks of the river, forever 
the same
 C#m                           
Though no water flows here, the 
  E
memory stays

   D(add2)                   E
As long as it stays you are here
D(add2)                  E
Heartbroken year after year

[Chorus 1]
E  B   A         E   E         
People running away, running 
   B         A         E
like strangers day after day
C#m        E
Leave him alone
B  C#m B C#m D  C#m  B   C#m
Golden river running from 
  A       E
her home

[Verse]
    C#m                  E
The sun was an altar, before which 
he knelt
     C#m                        E
And raised up the dagger, that hung 
from his belt
    C#m                        
He cursed his delusions and the 
    E
sadness he felt
 D(add2)                E
Weeping at what he'd become,
       D(add2)                  E
just a fool in the gold of the sun

[Chorus 2]
E  B   A         E   E         
People running away, running 
   B         A         E
like strangers day after day
C#m        E
Leave him alone
B  C#m B C#m D  C#m  B   C#m
Golden river running from her home  
  A
