Over the Waterfall
by: Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
album: Picnic
*Intro: Em, Bm (x2)
Verse1
Em
I slipped through your fingers
Bm
Into the clouds
Am
Ran down the concrete hallways
C
Pushed through the crowd
Em
I watched by the water
Bm
Reached for the sun
C
Why did I bother
G
What`s done is done
*Chorus
F C
And all that`s left of me now
Bm
Is waiting to drown
C D
Over the waterfall (x2)
C D Em
Over the waterfall
D C
I fall down
*Verse2
Soldiers of fortune
Stand by your door
You can`t remember
What you hired them for
You cleared your concience
And I left a stain
The beauty of sadness is
Feeling the pain
*Repeat Chorus
*Bridge
G D C
And only the sad stone man can hear my cry
And only the tall blue girl can see
I lost my way, I left no alibis
So no one will know you knew me
*Instrumental: Em, Bm, C, G, F, C, Bm, C, D, C, D, C, D, Em, D, C
*Verse3
Randomly speaking
Pieces of light
The clowns from the circus
Got drunk here last night
They talked of reunion
And then left on their own
What they`ve never known is
What you`ve always known
*Repeat Chorus
F C
And all that`s left of me now
Bm
Is waiting to drown
C D
Over the waterfall (x2)
C D Em D C
Over the waterfall
C D
Over the waterfall (x2)
C D Em
Over the waterfall
D C
I fall down
*Outro: C, D, C, D, C, D, Em, D, C
