[Verse]
C       F           C
 In the land of hope,
C          F             C
 There's a river running low.
Am       G           F
  In the land of hope,
         C
They know.
         C
They know.
C
 They know how this river flows.

              C             F
Cause it goes back into the days and times,
C
Back into the fighting line.
C             F
Burning fire, crashing lightning,
C     
First steps on the story line.
Am                    G            F
  And the river don't flow for me, no,
                      
That river is cold, and makes you
C            F
Wash away my traces, bang,
C       G          C
 All my tracks are gone.
           C                F                  C       
It takes a million years to find out where I'm coming from.

[Chorus]
Am  G            C    
  I know I don't know that much, 
            F             C
I'm getting dumber by the year.
F      G    C
Trying to embrace it all,
     F       G       Am
Even now I'm so much older,
      F              G            C
Still feels like I'm on your shoulder.

[Verse]
C                F                   C
 Look around and think about all the times that you carried me.
C         F                  C
 Close my eyes and cast your window in a family tree.
Am                 G
  Keep blocking my eyes with your hands,
        F
I'll be talking directions that you have to walk
  C                    F
Exactly the way that I told you to walk it
        C
And you did it cause I was your son.
C
 I know exactly where I come from.

[Chorus]
Am  G            C
  I know I don't know that much, 
            F             C
I'm getting dumber by the year.
F      G    C
Trying to embrace it all,
     F       G       Am
Even now I'm so much older,
      F              G            C
Still feels like I'm on your shoulder.
G             C
 On your shoulder.
G             C
 On your shoulder.
G             C
 On your shoulder.
G                 C
 Oh, on your shoulder.

[Bridge]
Dm
  No matter how hard, no matter how hard, no.
F
 No matter where I, no matter where I go.
Dm
  No matter how hard, no matter how hard, no.
F
 No matter where I go I know I'm always on your…

[Chorus]
A   G            C
  I know I don't know that much, 
            F             C
I'm getting dumber by the year.
F      G    C
Trying to embrace it all,
     F       G       Am
Even now I'm so much older,
      F              G 
Still feels like I'm on your…

[Outro]
Am            G    C
 On your shoulder,
Am            G    C
 On your shoulder,
Am            G    C
 On your shoulder,
Am            G    C
 On your shoulder,
Am            G    C
 On your shoulder,
      F              G            C
Still feels like I'm on your shoulder.
