A                         Em                 D      
Where did I go, how did I come to reach this place? 
A            Em                  D 
If only I'd learned to let them hold me. 

A                     Em                          D 
There's a beggar with gold, said he made a village built with clay, 
A         Em             D 
Before it all got washed away. 

A   Em   D 
Oooh

A                                       Em            
Down by the river where the river is so cold, 
                  D 
and the older and women come to play. 

A   Em   D 

A                                       Em 
Steady my heart cos the pattern of your soul 
                 D 
Is spoken in the rhythm of yesterday. 

       A  Em  D 
Na na na yeah 
       A  Em  D 
Na na na yeah 
       A  Em  D 
Na na na yeah 
           A  Em  D 
Na na na yeah 


A                         Em                 D      
Where did I go, how did I come to reach this place? 
A           Em              D 
If only I'd let the beggars show me, 
A                Em                        D 
To the valley of gold where once stood the village build with clay, 
A        Em             D 
Before I all got washed away.
