[Verse 1]
F   Bb              G
Drivin' down the lane
    Bb      F        Bb        G  Bb
The fire is out (The fire is out)
F    Bb              G
Tom get down from there
Bb              F
You are not well
Bb G    Bb
I told you


[Chorus 1]
F        Bb          G
But the mountain is high
         Bb          F
And the valley is low
          Bb     G  Bb
Yeah well I know
F      Bb          G
And I never knew why
Bb          F
She did not cry
        Bb     G  Bb
But now I know


[Verse 2]
F      Bb          G
That slate tiled roof
     Bb         F   Bb G Bb
That Dad and I built
F      Bb            G
Damn stubborn old man
Bb          F         Bb     G       Bb
I need no proof it's slippery, it's slippery


[Chorus 2]
F       Bb           G
But the river is wide
        Bb           F
And the current is slow
          Bb     G Bb
Yeah well I know

F      Bb            G
And I know in my mind
      Bb          F
That she is near by
       Bb     G Bb
So now I know


[Bridge]
Dm                          G
And then I saw her standing there
F                              C
Two bitter people who couldn't care for
Dm                             G
All of the things that came before, that came before
F                             C
The when, the who, the what or where
        Bb
And so we screamed, and then we

[Verse 3]
F    Bb           G
The ladder is broke
    Bb             F   Bb G Bb
The boots are worn thin
F   Bb           G
I wish he'd just jump
Bb              F     Bb   G   Bb
It sounds so bad, but I do, oh I do


[Chorus 3]
F       Bb            G
But the pull of the tide
        Bb               F
And the white of the snow
          Bb    G  Bb
Yeah well I know
F        Bb             G
And the fierce of my pride
     Bb              F
That drove her to die
        Bb    G  Bb
But now I know
F      Bb            G
By the taste of the wine
        Bb                   F
And the blood that still flows
        Bb    G  Bb
You see I know
F      Bb        G
I can feel it inside
     Bb            F
That I should just go
          Bb     G
Yeah well I know
             Bb  F  Bb  G
You see that I know
Bb           F  Bb  G
You see that I know
Bb           F  Bb  G
You see that I know
Bb           F  Bb
You see that I know
G Bb   F Bb G Bb
I    know
