Verse 1:
C
She was sittin’ down at the river
F            C
Watching the clouds roll by
C
Daddy said “One day baby
C       F           C
You’ll have to spread your wings and fly”
C

Momma and daddy were good folks
     F      C
But they did not understand
    Am       G
So she started chasing rainbows
C
Just to clear her head
    Am
And the ties that bind
G
Hurt her more
     C
Than the road that lay ahead


Chorus:

F        C
And she said I’m leaving
     G
And it’s gonna be alright
     F      C
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
    G
And I’m ready for the fight
F            C
Scars will fade and the memories remain
    G         Am
But the pain will make it right

F C G C

Verse 2:

C
Well she met a man one sunny day
     F         C
He said “There’s no one like you”
C
So she fell in love and swore on her grave that she’d
F           C
Be there the whole way through
C
All she wanted was only forever
F          C
And he just couldn’t explain
    Am      G
How the way she moved lit up the room
C
But it caused him so much pain
Am           G
Eyes in the rearview she bowed her head
C
And wondered if it ain’t all the same


Chorus:

F        C
And she said I’m leaving
     G
And it’s gonna be alright
     F       C
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
   G
And I think I know what’s right
   F         C
I’ve learned by now to feel no pain
     G     Am
And it’s just a part of life

Verse 3:

C
Well she was still chasing rainbows
         F           C
Running from the storms trapped in her mind
C
To her surprise when she reached the end
     F     C
There was no gold in sight
C
Now she’s all alone and her house is no home
       F         C
But there’s a spark left in her eye
     Am         G
Now she’s sittin’ down at the river
C
Watching the clouds roll by
Am          G
Her old wrinkled hand searching
C
For the gun by her side

Chorus:

F        C
And she said I’m leaving
     G
And it’s gonna be alright
     F      C
There’s a Bible on the nightstand
G
And I can see a light
F          C
Right on top of the world
G              Am
With all the stars out that night
F                  C
That river keeps running through her dreams
   G        C
Everything’s gonna be alright

F C G C
