[Em] [Bm]
see trouble up ahead.
[E] Where the river flows, sways beneath the sun,
That's where the river [Bm] runs red.
[D]
If I [G] can't gain the stars to win,
[A] Should I double freeze [Em] an eagle [Bm] instead?
[Gb] Tomorrow [G] is the same as the [A] things that you said.
[B] [Bm]
[G] I see [E] trouble up the road.
[Em] There's good things you found in love,
And by the way, life's a cheat [Bm] on your soul.
[Em] Like a mess of words,
You'll just lose control before you lie on [Bm] your bed.
[Gbm] Tomorrow [G] is the [D] same as [A] the things that you said.
[Gbm] [Bm] I see trouble up the road.
And [D] anyway, all the things [E] you know,
Tell [A] me why does [Bb] your river [Bm] not flow?
And [D] anyway, all the things [E] you said,
Tell me [A] why does [Bb] your river [Bm] run red?
And [D] anyway, all the things [E] you've seen,
[A] Tell me why will [E] your river [Bm] run green?
And anyway, [D] all that you [E] know,
Tell me [Gbm] why does your river not [B] flow?
[E]
[Bm] [E]
[D] [G]
Far less things to say in your way,
That's [Bm] your trouble.
[Em] Like a big, big, sunken river,
That's a [D] whole land of stars and [Bm] a mist double.
[E] [Bm]
[Gb] Tomorrow [G] is the same as the [A] things that you said.
[B] [Bm] And [D] anyway, all the things you [E] know,
Tell [A] me why [Bb] does your river [B] not flow?
[Bm] And [D] anyway, all the things [E] you said,
Tell me [A] why does [Bb] your river run [Bm] red?
And anyway, [D] all the things [E] you've seen,
Tell [A] me why will [Bb] your river [B] run green?
And [D] anyway, all that you [E] know,
Tell me [A] why does your river [B] not flow?
[C] I [D] [B]

[Bm] [G]
[Bm]
[B] [Bm] see trouble [B] up [Bm] ahead.
[Em] Where the river flows, sways beneath the sun,
Is where the river [Bm] runs red.
And I see [Gbm] trouble, [Bm] but it's not trouble.
