Stop all this talk, _ _ _ _ turn [Bm] off the telephone _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ Open up another bottle, _
[Bm] _ _ send those people home
[C#m] _ Let it get real quiet, [D] turn that lampway [E] down low
[A] I'm gonna float _ _ [Bm] down this river of [A] _ _ tears
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ remember how he [D] spoke _ on the days he was dry
[A] _ _ Even now that he's [D] gone, he can make a woman [Bm] _
[C#m] cry
_ But he saw through _ [D] me, _ deaf, dumb and [E] blind
He [A] knew his way _ [D] down [A] this river of _ _ tears _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[A] _ _ _ Dashed hopes and best [Bm] intentions, _ _ people say _
[A] _ _ [A] _ He could sit and drink [D] _ the way a monk could pray
[C#m] _ _ So grab that silver [D] flask, pour yourself [E] another glass
And [A] watch me [D] rage down this [A] river of tears _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ Turn out the stars [A] now, _ _ darken everyone _
[Dm] _ _ Watch _ the [A] clouds cover that big yellow _ _ _
[Dm] moon
_ Close the _
[A] blinds, mute [F#m] the sun _
[Bm] _ _ _ There's nowhere _
[D] left to run

_ _ _ _ Close the _
[A] blinds, [E] mute [F#m] the [A] sun _
[Bm] _ _ There ain't nowhere _ _ _ left to [B] run _ _ _
[A] _ _ Picked up that old decanter _
[Bm] that he used to drink from _
[A] _ _ _ _ Turned on his stereo _ _ just to hear it [C#m] hum
_ Daddy I'm gonna wrap myself in [D] blankets and listen to you sing
And [A] I'm gonna float down [D] this river of _ _ _ _ _ tears _ _ _ _ _
