[Gm]
The [C] man that we worked on [Db] these tunes together, [A] Dave Cinco, [Bbm] and [N] our union president Dave Pomeroy
called [B] me, [Bb] President Pomeroy called me, back before he was the president, [Abm] said you got
to get over here, [Gm] you're going to want to meet this songwriter, this guy writes the
best [Gb] tunes you've ever heard.
[Eb] That's the [Db] way he told me about you all.
He was like, oh I know these guys.
Well, [Ab] and so [A] Dave Cinco and I worked on those [N] sessions and I learned songs that day that
I still love and this was certainly one of them.
So my pleasure and thanks to Dave [G] Pomeroy for hooking us up.
[C] [N] I [C] [F] [G]
[C] [F] [G]
[C] [F] [G] wish that I could [C] be a midget [F] on a [G] painted [C] pony so fast that [F] [G] no [C] one could ever catch
me [F] or [G] get caught [C] up in my past.
[F] I've [Em] ridden across [C] many rivers, [F] used [G] many [C] moons to tell the tales, [F] and [G] I tell [C] all the
young warriors, [F] many [G] moons ago this [C] was mine all the while.
[G] Same old river, [C] same old [F] sea, [Em] same [F] old waters rushing [C] over me, [G] same old [C] moon, same old sun,
[F] [C] same old race that we've [F] always [C] run, same old race that we've always [C] run.
[F]
[G] [C] [F]
[G] [C] [F] And I wish that [Em] I could [C] be a pirate, [F] I'd [C] sail the ocean blue [F] way [C] before the big liners [F] started
[G] sailing [C] there too.
[F] I'd bury [Em] most of [C] my treasure so [F] [Em] I was even [C] equal, [F] and the only [Em] real [C] sense of pleasure
that I'd give [F] is I'd sail [G] free [C] in my [G] soul.
So same old river, [C] same old sea, [F] [C] same old [F] waters [C] rushing over me, [G] same old [C] moon, same
old sun, same old race that we've always [F] run, [C]
same old [F] race that [C] we've always run.

[C] [F] [G] And I wish that I [C] could be a slave, y'all, [F] [G] it really wouldn't matter [C] what kind.
[F] I'd sing [G] a song [C] for fallen angels, [F] try [G] to be [C] free in my mind, [F] then [G] go [C] on.
[F] I'd [G] drop my [C] heart as a flower, [F] and I'd [Em] find my old [C] memory, [F] and [G] that's the [C] same old river,
[G]
[C] same old sea, [F] [Am] same old waters [C] rushing over me, [G] same old moon, [C] same old sun, [F] [C]

[F] Don't need [G] the land [C] here just to see, [F] but I [G] can't help [C] but be wild.
[F] I'd [G] always keep [C] my revolver [F] steady [G] and [C] fastened, [F] and I'd drive a [G] train [C] bound for glory, cause
I thought I'd be in that old [G]
[C] river, same old sea, [F] [C] same old [F] waters [C] rushing over me, [G] same
old moon, [C] same old sun, same old race that we've always run, same old race that we've always run.
