The Motherlode(Cavaco chords)

	        
 

Intro: D(add2)  E  (2x) 

C#m                    E 
Counting the winters, numb too cold 
C#m                        E 
Searching the valley, for secrets untold 
      C#m                       E 
The mountains are children, to someone so old 
   D(add2)                   E 
A king without kingdom or throne 
D(add2)                   E 
Digging the mud and the stone 

C#m                         E 
All men have left here but you have remained 
        C#m                   E 
At the banks of the river, forever the same 
 C#m                             E 
Though no water flows here, the memory stays 
   D(add2)                   E 
As long as it stays you are here 
D(add2)                  E 
Heart broken year after year 

E 
People running away, running like strangers day after day 
C#m                      E 
Breathe in, you're not alone 
B  C#m B C#m  D  C#m  B   C#m  A     E 
Golden river running from her home 

    C#m                  E 
The sun was an altar, before reaching out 
     C#m                        E 
And raised up the dagger, that hung from his belt 
    C#m                            E 
He cursed his disillusion and the sadness he felt 
 D(add2)                E        
Weeping at what he'd become,  
       D(add2)                  E 
just a fool in the gold of the sun 

E 
People running away, running like strangers day after day 
C#m                      E 
Breathe in, you're not alone 

B  C#m B C#m  D  C#m  B   C#m  A      
Golden river running from her home

E
