  Album: Nightcap 
  Chords: Håkan Mattsson 
  
  Intro: 
  Am... 
  Am... Am C G F 
  Am... Am C G F G, 
  
  F F G G 
  
  D D Am   G G Am Am 
  F C Am   G G Am Am 
    
    
  
  G G Am Am                G Am Am                   G G Am Am 
             I walked down         that boulder road, 
                              C            G            F F Am 
  Through a child's eye saw places where I used to go. 
                          G Am Am                      G G Am Am 
  Where I crawled barefoot         with a fishing pole 
                     C               G        F F G 
  to the rock that overlooked that steelhead hole 
               F F G G              D        Am    G G Am Am 
  but it's true--     silver river turning blue. 
    
    
  
  G G Am Am                    G Am Am                   G G Am Am 
            It was a small town        in a smaller world. 
                         C                G            F F Am 
  Just a black dot on an old map with its edges curled. 
                                    G Am Am                      G G Am Am 
  Where they built their industries        on the edge of town-- 
             C            G           F F G 
  Leaching chemicals from underground 
               F F G G                   D        Am 
  now it's true--     that silver river turning blue. 
    
    
  
   G                F               C                   G    F F G 
  Just got a late reaction.  Face reality and stare it down. 
                  Bb     F                C          D     E 
  Sometimes it's harder hanging on.  Much easier to look around. 
  
  But I need that job. 
    
    
  
  G G Am Am 
  
  G G Am Am                         G Am Am                               G G 
  Am Am 
           Well, this place no city:        we're just small players here. 
                        C               G             F F Am 
  Like a million other heroes drinking poor man's beer. 
                       G Am Am                         G G Am Am 
  We know what's right.        We're just living it wrong. 
                      C               G          F F G 
  But there's no easy answer in the green man's song. 
                  F F G G                  D          Am 
  What do you do?         When your river's turning Blue.
