Bea's Song

Cowboy Junkies

intro:

C ( 4 times)

( there is no chorus to this song)

(v1)

C

Speed river at my feet running low and flat

Am

I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking bout the past

F C

and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky

G F

The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

G F C

John's at my side but he's sitting on firmer ground

(v2)

C

John says I look at the moon and the stars

Am

these days more often than I look into his eyes

F C

and I cant disagree so I dont say nothing

G F

I just stare on past his face at Venus rising

G F C

like a shiney speck of hope hanging over the horizion

(v3)

C

With each passing year that I sit here

Am

that horizion seems to inch just that much nearer

F C

and all that appears on it seems as clear as spit

G

But if there's one thing in my life

F

that these years have taught its

G F

that you can always see it coming

C

but you can never stop it

(v4)

C

Speed river at my feet running low and flat

Am

I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking bout the past

F C

and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky

G F

The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

G F C

John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning

G F

The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

G F C

John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
