[Am][G][Am][C][Am][G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Walk along [G]the
waterfall
Watching [Am]as the world turns red
Wonder where the [G]river flows
And the blood on the [Am]river bed
[F]Poison lies [G]too close to us
[F]Reach across [G]the salt and sand
[Am]Moving [Em]deeper [F]into the l[C]and
Fol[Am]lowing the [G]wa terfall
Watching [Am]as the world turns green
Wonder where the [G]river flows
The copper face re[Am]mains unseen
[F]Ignorance has [G]failed to cleanse
[F]Reach across [G]the salt and sand
[Am]Moving [Em]deeper [F]into the l[C]and

[E][Esus4][E][Eb]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Crying as the [G]earth cries out
Weeping as [Am]the land decays
Wonder if [G]I could have helped
Maybe I'd [Am]have found a way
[F]Poison lies too [G]close to us
[F]Reach across [G]the salt and sand
[Am]Moving [Em]deeper [F]into the l[C]and

[Verse 3]
[Gm]Cling to the [F]branch [Gm]of a tree
That was wait[F]ing for
[Eb]Something to preach
[F]Someone to teach
[Gm]The Word was the [F]first
And the [Bb]last [Gm]to be h[F]eard
[Dm]From the [Eb]branch of the tree
It was [F]praying for me to fall [Gm]down

[Eb][Gm][Am][Gm][F]
[Dsus4][Dm][Eb]

[Verse 4]
[Gm]Climb to [F]the top of [Bb]a tree
That was [Dm]waiting [Gm]for
[Eb]Someone to warn
A [F]life to be torn into
[Gm]Pieces [F]of gold
For a [Bb]soul to be [F]sold
[Dm]And the hear[Eb]t of the tree
[F]Was crying for me to [Dm]come [Am]back

[Fm]

[Verse 5]
Take me to the [Eb]hanging tree
There's a man in the light
And he's [Fm]pointing at me
Guide me to the [Eb]hanging tree
It's the place that I come [Fm]from[Db]
Walk along the [Eb]waterline[Db]
Reach across [Eb]the salt and the sand
[Fm]Moving [Cm]deeper [Db]into the [Ab]land

[Verse 6]
[Fm]
Take me to the [Eb]hanging tree
There's a boy in the light
And he's [Fm]staring at me
Take me to the [Eb]hanging tree
It's the place that I come [Fm]from[Db]
Walk along the [Eb]waterline[Db]
Reach across [Eb]the salt and the sand
[Fm]Moving [Cm]deeper [Db]into the [Ab]land
I'm falling
Falling down [Fm]again!
