Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
Frightened by the tone of a phone in the dead of night
ch]Edim/D[/ch] [ch]D5[/ch
Then staring into darkness and praying till the morning light
ch]D[/ch
The price already paid, a son gone to the grave
ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D5[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Now the sorrowful parade to the riverbank
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
Must be half the county come down to the riverbank
ch]Edim/D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
High school is closed, same for the local police
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/D[/ch] [ch]Gm[/ch
Shall we tearfully embrace, shall we sing “Amazing Grace”
ch]D5[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Will the shallow river waters bring us peace
ch]Dm[/ch
Army dude, only son, nowhere to run
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
No one to turn to, he turns to the gun
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
It’s a cross, it’s a stone, it’s a fragment of bone
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Edim/D[/ch
It’s a long walk home
ch]G[/ch
A long walk home
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
Gonna be a long walk home
ch]D[/ch
From the riverbank
ch]D[/ch
Is there any reason why the black pine should not weep
ch]Edim/D[/ch
Is there a woman or a man who wouldn’t understand why he could not sleep
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G/D[/ch] [ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]D5[/ch
And the nightmares when they came, like poison to the brain
ch]A7[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Reminded him again life is cheap
ch]Dm[/ch
Army dude, only son, nowhere to run
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
No one to turn to, he turns to the gun
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Dm[/ch
It’s a cross, it’s a stone, it’s a fragment of bone
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Edim/D[/ch
It’s a long walk home
ch]G[/ch
A long walk home
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
Gonna be a long walk home
ch]D[/ch
From the riverbank
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Army dude’s mama at the edge of the river
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Edim/D[/ch
Limp as a rag, American flag in her arms
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Then a triangle of light kissed the red and blue and white
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A7[/ch
Along the riverbank, past the dealerships and farms
