   A         G
Looking for the right kind,
       A        G  (riff)  D5add9
Live free or die.
  D                      G
I want to see your smile through a pay phone,
 D                 G
Season has changed;
(riff)
I want to see you in it,
D              G                      D        G
Lights that shine are caustic without you.

Bm(4x)           A         G
When we're all passed over,
Bm(4x)      A         G             D
The rhythm of the river will remain.
    G       A      D
It will, it will remain.

 D               G
Nicotine and waiting,
D            G
Just wanted to keep it alive
riff
You turn and 'fore you know it,
D             G                 D       G
We're just threading this needle for life.

A                   G
A brighter way is what you've proved,
A                          G         (riff)
Anesthetize is what you do.

solo over A/G/A/G, then riff

D                  G
Someday we'll be together
D         G
Farther south than the train line.
riff
The Delta mud will be there,
D            G                 D                 G
We're just livin' this way 'cause we've known no other.

Bm(4x)          A         G
When we're all passed over,
Bm(4x)          A         G     D
The rhythm of the river will remain.
    G       A       D
It will, it will remain.

A                   G
Looking for the right kind,
A              G
Live free or die.
