(Intro.)
|(Am) / / / | x 4
(Am)I was here, before you were, a whisper in the wind (Em) (Gm)
(Am)Quiet down, feet on the ground, I値l tell it like it is
My (Dm)seeds and bones (Am)are buried here, (Dm)deep in Mother (Am)Earth
(F)You might think that I知 long gone, but it痴 (G)time for my rebirth
(Chorus)
I am, (Am) deep down in the riverbed, (C)down in the riverbed
(D) Deep down in the riverbed, (Em) I'm (F)down in the riverbed (Em)
(F) They tried to (D)bury me, (C) but (Bm)I知 still (Am)here
(G)Down in the (F)river-(Am)bed
(Em)(G)I got (Am) willow for what pains you, (D) yarrow for what burns
(Em)(G) (Am) Centuries of knowing, if you (D) listen to my words
I知 the (D)cool air of the (Am) canyon, the (D)shiver down (Am)your spine
(F)Look back over your shoulder, and re-(G)member you were mine
(Chorus)
I am, (Am) deep down in the riverbed, (C)down in the riverbed
(D) Deep down in the riverbed, (Em) I'm (F)down in the riverbed (Em)
(F) They (Em)tried to (D)bury me, (C) but (Bm)I知 still (Am)here
(G)Down in the (F)riv-(Am)erbed, mmh, mmh
(Em)(G) (Am)Some they come to seek me, (D) some they come to cry
(Em)(F) (Am)Some they are my songs and daughters, (D)very much alive
You can (D)cover me (Am)with concrete, build a (D)city on (Am)my bones
But (F)I could bring it crumbling down, if I (G)let you hear my moans
They go (Am) hey, hey, hey (Bm)
(C) Hey, hey, hey, (D) hey, hey, hey (Em) (F)
They go (Am) hey, hey, hey (Bm)
(C) Hey, hey, hey, (D) hey, hey, hey (Em) (F)
(Solo)

To-(Am)night turn off your bright lights, step into the dark (Em)(G)
(Am) Pull your shawl around you, put your face up to the stars
(D) Slide your bare feet (Am)on the ground, (D) dirt between your toes (Am)
(F)Close your eyes let me inside, your (G)soul already knows
(Outro.)
I am, (Am) deep down in the riverbed, (C)down in the riverbed
(D) Deep down in the riverbed, (Em) I'm (F)down in the riverbed (Em)
(Am) Deep down in the riverbed, (Bm) I'm (C)down in the riverbed
(D) Deep down in the riverbed, (F) I'm (G)down - - - in the riverbed (Am) - - - - -
