Catie Curtis - River Winding
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   G  
River winding Emthrough this mill town
My Chometown is dark by FGour
Winter coming, Emthe mills have long shut down andC  
No one's working Danymore
And I Emdrove by McDonalds
And a Clong line just followed
From a Gposting today for a DjobG  
River winding Emthrough the darkness
AlCways to rise and fGall
River winding, Emyou wouldn't believe
How many Csouls were glued right Ghere
Winter coming, Emeveryone's got shoes but C  
No one knows how to Dget through the year
When I Emdrove by my high school
And the Cstudents are so few nowG  
So many families havDe leftG  
River winding Emthrough the darkness
SomeCtimes cursed and sometimes Emblessed
INSTRUMENTAL:   C    G    D    G    Em    C  G  
River winding, Emsparkling in the moonlightC  
Cleaner than it's bGeen
But the main street store fronts Emare mostly empty nowC  
Hand written signs, 'DSpace For Rent'
And I Emdrove by the factories
And the Cwindows were broken
Where the Glights used to be always DonG  
River winding Emthrough the darkness
AlCways to move aEmlong, aDlongG

Catie Curtis - River Winding

CAPO: 1st Fret

INTRO:

River winding through this mill town

C G

My hometown is dark by Four

Em C

Winter coming, the mills have long shut down and

No one's working anymore

And I drove by McDonalds

And a long line just followed

G D G

From a posting today for a job

River winding through the darkness

C G

Always to rise and fall

River winding, you wouldn't believe

C G

How many souls were glued right here

Em C

Winter coming, everyone's got shoes but

No one knows how to get through the year

When I drove by my high school

C G

And the students are so few now

D G

So many families have left

River winding through the darkness

C Em

Sometimes cursed and sometimes blessed

C G D G Em C G

INSTRUMENTAL:

Em C

River winding, sparkling in the moonlight

Cleaner than it's been

Em C

But the main street store fronts are mostly empty now

Hand written signs, 'Space For Rent'

And I drove by the factories

And the windows were broken

G D G

Where the lights used to be always on

River winding through the darkness

C Em D G

Always to move along, along
