Bea's Song
Cowboy Junkies
[Intro]
C (x4)
[Chorus]
CSpeed river at my feet running low and flat
I'm sAmitting here burning daylight thinking about the past
and the dFistance out there where the earth meets the sCky
The sliGghtest move and this river mud pulls me fuFrther down
JGohn's at my side but he's siFtting on firmer grouCnd
[Verse]
JoChn says I look at the moon and the stars
tAmhese days more often than I look into his eyes
and I cFant disagree so I dont say nothCing
I just sGtare on past his face at Venus rFising
like a sGhiney speck of hoFpe hanging over the horCizion
WiCth each passing year that I sit here
that hAmorizion seems to inch just that much nearer
and aFll that appears on it seems as clear as sCpit
But if tGhere's one thing in my life
that these years have Ftaught it's
that you can aGlways see it coFming
but you can never stop Cit
[Chorus]
CSpeed river at my feet running low and flat
I'm sAmitting here burning daylight thinking about the past
and the dFistance out there where the earth meets the sCky
The sliGghtest move and this river mud pulls me fuFrther down
JGohn's at my side but he's noFt noticing that I'm Cdrowning
The sliGghtest move and this river mud pulls me fuFrther down
JGohn's at my side but he's noFt noticing that I'm Cdrowning

Bea's Song

Cowboy Junkies

[Intro]

C (x4)

[Chorus]

Speed river at my feet running low and flat

I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past

F C

and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky

G F

The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

G F C

John's at my side but he's sitting on firmer ground

[Verse]

John says I look at the moon and the stars

these days more often than I look into his eyes

F C

and I cant disagree so I dont say nothing

G F

I just stare on past his face at Venus rising

G F C

like a shiney speck of hope hanging over the horizion

With each passing year that I sit here

that horizion seems to inch just that much nearer

F C

and all that appears on it seems as clear as spit

But if there's one thing in my life

that these years have taught it's

G F

that you can always see it coming

but you can never stop it

[Chorus]

Speed river at my feet running low and flat

I'm sitting here burning daylight thinking about the past

F C

and the distance out there where the earth meets the sky

G F

The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

G F C

John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning

G F

The slightest move and this river mud pulls me further down

G F C

John's at my side but he's not noticing that I'm drowning
