INTRO..D A D

D              A             D
I’M GOING DOWN ON THE NUECES RIVER
D             Bm                         A
GONNA CALL MY BROTHER ASK HIM TO MEET ME THERE
D              G               D
ON THE SURFACE WILL BE TWO MEN FISHING
D                A                        D
DOWN BELOW WE ARE BROTHERS WITH A LOVE TO SHARE

CHORUS
D             A          D
I’M GONNA LAY MY BURDENS DOWN NOW
D             Bm                 A
GONNA ASK THE LORD TO WATCH THEM A WHILE
D                 G                D
I’M GOING TO WALK WHERE THE SUN IS SHINING
D            A                   D
I’LL BE HOME WHEN I HAVE FOUND A SMILE

THERE IS A SALT CEDAR TREE THAT I KNOW OF
IT CAN TAKE A BREEZE AND MAKE A MELODY
I’M GONNA CLIMB UP IN THOSE BRANCHES
AND ASK IF IT WOULD WHISPER ITS SECRETS TO ME

CHORUS

THERE’LL COME A TIME WHEN THE WORLD IS LEVEL
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE MOUNTAINS GREW
THEN THERE IS ALL THAT IS HERE IN THE MIDDLE
AND HOW IT’S SPENT IS UP TO ME AND UP TO YOU

CHORUS
REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS AND FADE
