Haven't seen the chords for this song anywhere so I decided to do it on my own. It
was kinda hard to get the chords right, but just listen to the song while you play
it the first times and you will get it. By the way, I wasn't good enough to find
out the chords for the outro. Sorry for that.
[Intro] (this might look tricky but you simply play each chord for each note):
Cm Bb/D Bb Cm Ab
Ab Bb Gm Ab Cm
Cm Bb/D Bb Cm Ab
Ab Bb Gm Ab Eb
[Verse]
EbLeaves are fallin' down on the beautiful ground
I heard a Cmstory from the man in red
He said "The lEbeaves are fallin' down
Such a beautiful sound
Son, I Cmthink you'd better go ahead
But you Ebalways hold your head up high
'Cause it's a Cmlong, long, long way down
This town was Ebmeant for passing through
Boy it ain't nothin' new
Now go and Cmshow 'em that the world stayed round
But it's a lAbong, long, long way GmdownFm  Eb  Eb  Ab  Gm  Bb  
You better Ebrun for the hills
Before they burn
Listen to the Cmsound of the world
Don't watch it turn
I just want to Fmshow you what GmI know
And catch you when the Abcurrent
Lets you Bbgo
Or should I just Ebget along with myself
I never did Cmget along with everybody else
I've been tryin' Ebhard to do what's right
But you know CmI could stay here, all nightAb  
And watch the clouds fall from the Fmsky
This Bbriver is wildEb  Cm  
This river is wild Eb  Cm  Bb/F  
[Verse]
EbRun for the hills before they burn
Listen to the Cmsound of the world
Don't watch it turn
I shake a little
EbSometimes I'm nervous when I talk
I shake a little
CmSometimes I hate the line I walk
I just want to Fmshow you what GmI know
And catch you when the Abcurrent
Lets you Bbgo
Or should I just Ebget along with myself
I never did Cmget along with everybody else
I've been tryin' Ebhard to do what's right
But you know CmI could stay here, all nightAb  
And watch the clouds fall from the FmskyBb  
Because this river is wCmildBb/D  Bb  Cm  Ab  
Godspeed ya, AbboyBb  Gm  Ab  Cm

[Verse]
EbNow Adam's taking bombs and he's stuck on his mom
Because that Cmbitch keeps tryin' to make him pray
He's with the Ebhippie in the park combing over the dark
Just tryin' to Cmget some of that little-girl play
You better rAbun for the hills bGmefore they burn
Listen to the Fmsound of the world
Don't wEbatch it turn
I just want to Fmshow you what GmI know
And catch you when the Abcurrent
Lets you Bbgo
Or should I Ebget along with myself
I never did Abget along with everyGmbody else
I've been tryin' Bbhard to do what's rCmight
But you know EbI could stay hereAb  
All night
AbAnd watch the clouds fall from the FmskyBb  
AbThis pain is hell in me tonBbight
Because this river is wCmildBb/D  Bb  Cm  Ab  
Godspeed ya, AbboyBb  Gm  Ab  Cm  
This river is CmwilBb/DdBb  Cm  Ab  Ab  Bb  Gm  Ab

[Outro]
Now the Ebcars are everywhere
Raisin' dust at the fairground
AbI don't think I ever seen so many Eb/Gheadlights
BbBut there's somethin' pullin' Cmme
The Ebcircus and the crew
Well they're Bbjust passin' through
Makin' Cmsure the merry Bbstill goes 'Abround
But it's a Bb7long, long, long way Ebdown
