Tom: B
(capo 2ª casa)
(intro banjo) A
(verse 1)
A
When I was a child
I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout
Let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry
If the river rose too high
That all the seeds we planted
Would get washed out with the tide
D
But now I am a man
A
And I need a place to hide
(chorus)
A
But there's nowhere to run
B
And there's no place to hide
D
Where the water runs free
E A
And the mud starts to slide
(break) Fiddle en A
(verse 2)
When I was a young man
I could work through wind and rain
I never thought to worry
Had no reason to complain
I thought that I was standing
On a rock so firm and strong
But it was easy then to see
Just what was right
And what was wrong
But now I am a man
I won't be hanging round too long
(break mandolin) A
(verse 3)
When I was a child
I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout
Let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry
If the river rose too high
And all the dreams we planted
Would get washed out with the tide
(repeat chorus)
D
Where the water runs free
E A
And the mud starts to slide
(banjo) A
