Caitlin Canty - River Alone

      [Intro]
Am D  x2


[Verse 1]
   Am             F           Em            G                 D          G         Am
No sound of a dog bark, only distant hum of cars and wind and dry leaves falling
                      F                    Em           G
Where the light falls slant, she holds the river in her hands
  D                         Dm                     Am
November hits the ground, a blanket of yellow and brown
                   F                Em           G
The rushing of the water drowns out birdsong and highway sound
      Dm                        Am
She's wringing out sun-drenched hair


[Chorus 1]
               G      D      Am
Find her by the river alone
             G      D           Am
She turns to water, he turns to stone
      C          G        Am
Stars above her, how they shone
         G
Watching over


[Instrumental]
Am D  x2


[Verse 2]
    Am                   F                 Em
The current pulls at her bare feet and her legs
          G
Up come a cool breeze
    D                    G       Am
The arched trees bend in closer watching
            Am           F                   Em
She let the wind run his fingers through her hair
            G             Am
She let the sun touch her skin
      D     Am
Young brown golden


[Chorus 2]
                    G     D      Am
He found her by the river alone
             G       D            Am
She turned to water, he turned to stone
      C          G        Am
Stars above her, how they shone
         G
Watching over


[Instrumental]
D  Am   F   Em   G   D  G   Am


[Verse 3]
        Am            F                      Em
Driving rain at night holds its breath under bridges
         G            D                  G             Am
The road hisses as he slows to leave the highway
                      F                 Em         G
Streetlights shine on power lines, rain hangs like diamonds
                 D              Am
A necklace for a heavy sky on a windless night


[Chorus 2]
                    G     D      Am
He found her by the river alone
             G       D            Am
She turned to water, he turned to stone
      C          G        Am
Stars above her, how they shone
         G
Watching over


[Verse 4]
Am                F
Blue smoke in the backyard
Em                     G
Snaking high above the barn
     D                G        D
Cold blanket of stars pulls in closer
    Am
The colder they are


[Outro]
D Am
