[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
When the rAmiver rises over her banks
Better maE7ke your home in a higher pAmlace
For if you stay down by the sand
You'll be E7washed away to another lAmand
And when the mountains swim in the sea
  E7Look around, you won't find mAme
In the end, what's done is done
If you hE7ear it coming, you won't have to rAmun
[Chorus]
You've goAmt to change your ways or die
If you lE7isten now, I'll tell you Amwhy
[Verse 2]
The bAmuffalo was here to stay
'Till a fE7ool with a gun came and took him awAmay
If you go too far, you can come back
When the rE7iver changes, so does the Ammap
[Chorus]
You've gAmot to change your ways or die
If you liE7sten now, I'll tell you wAmhy
[Verse 3]
A lAmover's life is like a dream
E7Sycamore trees, peaches and crAmeam
And if I could show you what I see
E7You'd take a chance, run away with mAme
A sip of whiskey gets your toes wet
If you diE7ve too deep, you'll get caught in a Amnet
Love and fire, burn to the core
I tE7hought as I walked by the corner sAmtore
[Chorus]
You've Amgot to change your ways or die
If you liE7sten now, I'll tell you wAmhy
You've gAmot to change your ways or die
If you lE7isten now, I'll tell you Amwhy
[Outro]
            Am

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

When the river rises over her banks

E7 Am

Better make your home in a higher place

For if you stay down by the sand

E7 Am

You'll be washed away to another land

And when the mountains swim in the sea

E7 Am

Look around, you won't find me

In the end, what's done is done

E7 Am

If you hear it coming, you won't have to run

[Chorus]

You've got to change your ways or die

E7 Am

If you listen now, I'll tell you why

[Verse 2]

The buffalo was here to stay

E7 Am

'Till a fool with a gun came and took him away

If you go too far, you can come back

E7 Am

When the river changes, so does the map

[Chorus]

You've got to change your ways or die

E7 Am

If you listen now, I'll tell you why

[Verse 3]

A lover's life is like a dream

E7 Am

Sycamore trees, peaches and cream

And if I could show you what I see

E7 Am

You'd take a chance, run away with me

A sip of whiskey gets your toes wet

E7 Am

If you dive too deep, you'll get caught in a net

Love and fire, burn to the core

E7 Am

I thought as I walked by the corner store

[Chorus]

You've got to change your ways or die

E7 Am

If you listen now, I'll tell you why

You've got to change your ways or die

E7 Am

If you listen now, I'll tell you why

[Outro]
