 E
Listen to the sound of the night bird singin'
  
 Esus2          
 E
I wonder who he calls
     
 Esus2                   
 E
My fingers hurt so bad it's got me grinnin'
        
 Esus2              
 E
And I wonder can I do it all

 Esus2                           
 E
Hit a stretch of rapids in the rushing ragin' river

 Esus2                         
 E
Looking out for boulders and falls

 Esus2                        
 E
A woman she watches from the top of the canyon

 Esus2                     
 E
Hopin' we don't drown us all

CHORUS:

 Bsus4                  
 Asus4
Help me now, I got to slow down
          
 Bsus4   
 Esus2
Hear my singin' call

Hurt myself bad on a run through the desert
Threw a shoe and took a bad fall
Long for the peace that the ancients bring me
Murmur of the lowlands shut my jaw
CHORUS

Everyone knows there's a price for the askin'
Some people buy themselves a doll
Help me sweet Jesus
I'm weary from the journey
I need to tell my brothers what I saw
CHORUS

NOTE: On the picking pattern, any given second string note can be
replaced by a first string note.  It is the sequence of first string
notes that makes this picking pattern challenging and interesting.
Listen to the record closely to hear this- the first string note is
relatively easy to pick out.
