America - Don't Cross the River: chords

Em                            A
There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
F#m                Bm
She's got a broken heart
Em                            A
She's not the kind to take you down for long
F#m                     Bm
She knows and plays it smart

 Em                A       F#m            Bm
(Ah) And if she's comin' she's showed no mark
Em               A             F#m       Bm
She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark
Em               A             F#m         Bm
She feels like leavin' and she don't know why
Em                                 A
Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh

Chorus:
D                G            D              G
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D            G           D             G
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
          A
All your life
         G   C   G
You were on your own

Bm                   G        D
If you want you can ride my train
    F#m                                 D
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
 G        Em7       A       D
Lose yourself and then sometime
 D          D7                  G
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

Chorus:
D                G            D              G
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D            G           D             G
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
D                G            D              G
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D            G           D             G
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
D                G            D              G
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D                G            D              G
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
D                G            D              G
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
