NOTES:
Capo on 1st fret if you want to play along with the record.
As always, chord names are given as if no capo were used.

The C and F chords, in the verses, are played with an added G note,
played with the pinkie, on the first string. Technically, the C is
still C (G being the dominant in the key of C) but the F becomes an Fadd9.

For the intro, just strum the Fadd9 and C chords. It's easier than you 
think. If you listen to this intro on "TIC", you'll be able to nail it!
This is a beautiful song. Enjoy!
 

INTRO: Fadd9   C   [play x3]
       
       C   Fadd9   G


VERSE:
Fadd9          C       Fadd9              C
Here's to your garden, here's  to your kids
  Fadd9                 C
I heard you were in the neighbourhood
            C         Fadd9     G
I've been a long time on    the skids
    Fadd9  C     Fadd9  C
And baby   I'm beside   you
    Fadd9          C             C        Fadd9  G 
You run   from the river when it long ran over   you


VERSE:
Fadd9           C                Fadd9         C
This is for you standing up to a bone-chilling wind
Fadd9            C            C         Fadd9   G
This  is for the failures you collected from my sins
    Fadd9            C        Fadd9         C
And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried
Fadd9            C                  C            Fadd9 G
This is for your hanging in, in the hope that it never dies


CHORUS:
    Dm         Am   G
And baby I'm beside you
    Dm                         Am            G
You run from the river when it long ran over you


VERSE:
This is for you waiting up, though the call never came
For the milk of human kindnesses you collected from our dream
And this is for your lonesome tears I never dried
This is for your hanging in, in the hope that it never dies


CHORUS:
And baby I'm beside you
You run from the river when it long ran over you - yeah
    C       Am             G
And now I'm running here beside you
    C       Am             G
And now I'm running here beside you


VERSE:
This is for the traveller on a blinding desert road
Good fortune smile upon you and may love be your only load
And this is for the only one who could quell my burning rage
To anyone who's been a broken man and anyone seen better days


CODA:
    C       Am             G
And now I'm running here beside you    [x4]
