Am Em Once my life was plain and clear Am I recall Em Once my ignorance was bliss Am Em G Nightfall came Bb Am Like a serpent?s kiss Em Am To my troubled mind Dm Am Why... Oh why my God Dm Am Have you abandoned me in my sobriety Dm Am Behind the old faade Bb I'm your bewildered child C Dm So take me cross the river wide Am Em Am Binding promisses were made on my soul Em Grand illusions lead astray Am Em G Bb Am Ice cold winds swept my heart away Em Am Bring me back to you Dm Am Why... Oh why my God Dm Am Have you abandoned me in my sobriety Dm G Behind the old faade Bb I'm your bewildered child C Dm So take me cross the river wide -- Helena -- Dm I remember a song Am Like in a dream Dm Where September was long Am And winter unreal Dm Am Why... Oh why my God above Dm Am Have you abandoned me in my sobriety Dm G Behind the old faade Bb I'm your bewildered child C Dm So take me cross the river wide I have a youtube link of myself performing this for a demo if you would like to hear it to clarify timing, fingerpicking and strumming patterns. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asj7qVjzbZY
