Standing Knee Deep in a River chords

Intro:   C   Em   F   G   C   Em   F   G

C               Em       F                      C
Friends I could count on   I could count on one hand
                F         G    F    G
with a leftover finger or two
C                Em      F                      C
  I took 'em for granted   let 'em all slip a - way
F                G            C    F
  Now where they are I wish I knew

G         C  Em           F     C
They roll by    just like water
F       G              C      F    G
  and I guess we never learn
           C    Em               F
Go through life      parched and empty
         C              F
standin' knee deep in a river
G               C      Em    F    G
   and dyin' of thirst

C                  Em     F                  C
  Sometimes I re - member   sweethearts I've known
                F              G    F    G

Some I've for - gotten I sup - pose
C                  Em     F                 C
  One or two still linger   oh and I wonder now
F       G             C    F
  why I ever let them go
          
G         C  Em           F     C
They roll by    just like water
F       G              C      F    G
  and I guess we never learn
           C    Em               F
Go through life      parched and empty
         C              F
standin' knee deep in a river
G               C      Em    F    G    C    Em    F  *Capo 1 here*  G
   and dyin' of thirst

C                    Em      F               C
  So the sidewalk is crowded   the city goes by
           F               G    F    G
and I rush through another day
C                     Em        F                    C
  and a world full of strangers   turn their eyes to me
F            G              C    F
  but I just look the other way.
          
G         C  Em           F     C
They roll by    just like water
F       G              C      F    G
  and I guess we never learn
           C    Em               F
Go through life      parched and empty
         C              F
standin' knee deep in a river
G               C      F
   and dyin' of thirst
          
G         C  Em           F     C
They roll by    just like water
F       G              C      F    G
  and I guess we never learn
           C    Em               F
Go through life      parched and empty
         C              F
standin' knee deep in a river
G               C      Em    F    G    C
   and dyin' of thirst
