  			Am 
When you're livin' in a town like this 
Em 
It's easy to sit back and just forget 
Am                                         Em 
That the world keeps on spinnin' round and round 
          Am               Em 
Round and round, round and round 

    F 
The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep 
       G 
She'll bite you while you're dreamin', send you off to your sleep 
        C                   G        F        C 
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down 
                Am 
Down that river deep 

( Am  Em  Am  Em ) 

Am 
When you're sittin' in the city large 
Em 
Just laid back lazy starring to the stars 
        Am                               Em 
You're still just laying right where you are, 
          Am             Em 
Where you are, where you are 

    F 
The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep 
       G 
She'll bite you while you're dreamin', send you off to your sleep 
        C                   G        F        C 
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down 
                Am 
Down that river deep 

( Am  Em  Am  Em ) 

Am 
You're sittin' in a hole just a-wonderin' why 
Em 
Stagnation's singin' to you like a lullaby 
     Am                         Em 
But 'til you move boy there you are 
          Am             Em 
There you are, there you are 

     F 
The beast is bitter, sink its teeth in deep 
       G 
She'll bite you while you're dreamin', send you off to your sleep 
        C                   G        F        C 
And you carry, you carry on down, on down, on down 
                Am 
Down that river deep
