[Verse 1]
[D]
Frightened by the tone of a phone in the dead of night
[Edim/D] [D5]
Then staring into darkness and praying till the morning light
[D]
The price already paid, a son gone to the grave
[A7] [D5] [D]
Now the sorrowful parade to the riverbank
[Verse 2]
[D]
Must be half the county come down to the riverbank
[Edim/D] [D]
High school is closed, same for the local police
[D] [G/D] [Gm]
Shall we tearfully embrace, shall we sing “Amazing Grace”
[D5] [A7] [D]
Will the shallow river waters bring us peace
[Chorus]
[Dm]
Army dude, only son, nowhere to run
[D] [Dm]
No one to turn to, he turns to the gun
[D] [Dm]
It’s a cross, it’s a stone, it’s a fragment of bone
[D] [Edim/D]
It’s a long walk home
[G]
A long walk home
[D] [D7] [A7]
Gonna be a long walk home
[D]
From the riverbank
[Bridge]
[D]
Is there any reason why the black pine should not weep
[Edim/D]
Is there a woman or a man who wouldn’t understand why he could not sleep
[D] [G/D] [Gm] [D5]
And the nightmares when they came, like poison to the brain
[A7] [D]
Reminded him again life is cheap
[Chorus]
[Dm]
Army dude, only son, nowhere to run
[D] [Dm]
No one to turn to, he turns to the gun
[D] [Dm]
It’s a cross, it’s a stone, it’s a fragment of bone
[D] [Edim/D]
It’s a long walk home
[G]
A long walk home
[D] [D7] [A7]
Gonna be a long walk home
[D]
From the riverbank
[Verse 3]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Army dude’s mama at the edge of the river
[D] [Edim/D]
Limp as a rag, American flag in her arms
[D] [G]
Then a triangle of light kissed the red and blue and white
[D] [A7]
Along the riverbank, past the dealerships and farms
[Outro]
