Angry River

Father John Misty


Tom: Am

   Am
He emptiness that we confess
       E
In the dimmest hour of day
Dm
In the common town they make a sound
         E
Like the low sad moan of prey

    Am
The bitter taste the hidden face
       E
Of the lost forgotten child
    Dm
The darkest need the slowest speed
    E
The debt unreconciled

      Dm
These photographs mean nothing
       Am
To the poison that they take
Dm
Before a moment's glory
    E
The light begins to fade

   Am
The awful cost of all we lost
      E
As we looked the other way
      Dm
We've paid the price of this cruel device
     E
Till we've nothing left to pay

    Am
The river goes where the current flows
    E
The light we must destroy
    Dm
Events conspire to set afire
    E
The methods we employ

      Dm
These dead men walk on water
     Am
Cold blood runs through their veins
    Dm
The angry river rises
    E
As we step into the rain

[Solo]

      Dm
These photographs mean nothing
   Am
To the poison that they take
    Dm
The angry river rises
     E
As we step into the rain
