Tom: C

INTRO: Em   A   Em   A   Em
 
        A    Em
Perfect sky 
            Dm              C       F C    Em
The sun and I are going our own way 
      A     Em
I can tell 
       Dm                      C      F C 
No one else gonna know how to love me 
 

        G                      C 
But the wind with its hands on my face 
        A                        C 
And the tall grass, lord, how it shakes 
          Em      Dm                   C 
All of my worries, worry about me for a change 


CHORUS:
         G                       C 
'Cause I ain't looking closely today 
      G                       C 
No, I ain't looking closely today 
       G                              Dm7        C 
Like a river so wide, I'm gonna let it slide___ away


INTERLUDE: Em   A   Em   A   Em

 
         A     Em
Long way off 
        Dm                     C       F C   Em
Someone calling, ain't calling my name 
         A     Em
Old blue jay 
     Dm               C      F C 
Fly away, rather than explain 


              G                        C 
Water carries voices and the devil may care 
      A                       C 
Me, I don't have an answer to spare 
          Em      Dm              C 
No use in asking, I'm feeling the same

No, I ain't looking closely today 
    G                               Dm7      C 
I'm feeling so high I'm gonna let it fly___ away

Like a river so wide, I'm gonna let it slide___ away
