The Cool Cool River by Paul Simon
The Cool Cool River
F#m |
Moves like a fist through traffic
|
Anger and no one can heal it
Shoves a little bump into the momentum
|
It's just a little lump
|
But you feel it in the...
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
In the creases and the shadows
F#m G#m A G#m|F#m G#m A G#m|
With a rattling deep emo-tion
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, cool riv-er
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
F#m11 |
Yes Boss. The government handshake
|
Yes Boss. The crusher of language
Yes Boss. Mr. Stillwater,
| |
The face at the edge of the banquet
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, the cool riv-er
F#m G#m A G#m|F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, the cool riv-er
F#m11 | |Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
I believe in the future
D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B
I may live in my car
| |F#m/A
My radio tuned to
D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B |
The voice of a star
|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
F#m/A D/A |A D/A A |
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
Eadd9add11/B | |
And these old hopes and fears
F#m/A D/A |A D/A A | |F#m | |
Still at my side
F#m |
Anger and no one can heal it
|
Slides through the metal detector
Lives like a mole in a motel
| |
A slide in a slide projector
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The cool, cool riv-er
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
Sweeps the wild, white ocean
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
The rage, the rage of love turns inward
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
To prayers of devotion
F#m
And these prayers are
| |
The constant road across the wilderness
|
These prayers are
|F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|
These prayers are the memory of God
F#m G#m A G#m |F#m G#m A G#m|F#m |
The memory of God
|Eadd9add11/B |F#m/A
And I believe in the future
D/A |A D/A A |
We shall suffer no more
Eadd9add11/B | |F#m/A
Maybe not in my lifetime
D/A |A D/A A |Eadd9add11/B |
But in yours I feel sure
|
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
F#m/A D/A |A D/A A |
Lightning pushes the edge of a thunderstorm
Eadd9add11/B |D
And these streets
|A
Quiet as a sleeping army
|E7/G# |A |D/A |
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven
E/B |A
For the mother's restless son
| |D/A |
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
E/B|A
Who denies his urge to break and run
|
Who says: Hard times?
|
I'm used to them
D/A
The speeding planet burns
|
I'm used to that
E/B |A
My life's so common it disappears
| |D/A |
And sometimes even music
E/B |A |
Cannot substitute for tears
Repeat and fade:
F#m11 |
