Capo 2

D(add2)  E  [2x]

C#m                    E
Counting the winters, numb too cold
C#m                        E
Searching the valley, for secrets untold
      C#m                       E
The mountains are children, to someone so old
   D(add2)                   E
A king without kingdom or throne
D(add2)                   E
Digging the mud and the stone

C#m                         E
All men have left here but you have remained
        C#m                   E
At the banks of the river, forever the same
 C#m                             E
Though no water flows here, the memory stays
   D(add2)                   E
As long as it stays you are here
D(add2)                  E
Heart broken year after year

E
People running away, running like strangers day after day
C#m                      E
Breathe in, you're not alone
B  C#m B C#m  D  C#m  B   C#m  A     E
Golden river running from her home

    C#m                  E
The sun was an altar, before reaching out
     C#m                        E
And raised up the dagger, that hung from his belt
    C#m                            E
He cursed his disillusion and the sadness he felt
 D(add2)                E       
Weeping at what he'd become, 
       D(add2)                  E
just a fool in the gold of the sun

E
People running away, running like strangers day after day
C#m                      E
Breathe in, you're not alone

B  C#m B C#m  D  C#m  B   C#m  A     
Golden river running from her home  [4x]
