The Motherlode chords by The Staves

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]

E
