Hey everyone,

SCC plays a Dobro on this song which helps give the acousitic part that deep sound
with a lot of attack.  It is also tuned down 1/2 step.

Chords (in no particular order):

Eb--0-----------------------0-------0-------0-------0-------0----------
Bb--0-----------------------0-------0-------0-------0-------0----------
Gb--9-------5-------7-------8-------6-------6-------4-------1-------4--
Db--9-------5-------7-------9-------6-------7-------5-------2-------4--
Ab--7-------3-------5-------9-------4-------7-------5-------2-------2--
Eb--------------------------x---------------5-------3-------0----------
  Ebii	B*	  Db*     Bb	C	  Ab	    Gb	Eb	 Bb*
                                         (see note)      

* = no 3rd

NOTE: play the Ab note (index finger, 5th fret, low Eb string) only during the main
chord riff.  During the chorus, mute that string as on the Bb chord.  And, if you
don't want to mute it, its obviously not that big a deal.  Just have fun.


Intro:
There is no acoustic in the intro, but if you want, you can play Ebii.

Main Chord-Riff:
Ab	Gb	Eb
Ab	Gb	B*

Verse:

B*					Db*					B*	
The long awaited rains have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
					   Db*				   B*
And carved the way to where the wild and rushing river can be found
					   Db*					Ebii
And like the rains I have been carried here to where the river flows,
	Ab Gb B*
yeah

B*				    Db*					B*	
My heart is racing and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge
				    Db*					B*
I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge
				   Db*			
And in the rush I hear a voice that's telling me 
		 B*			
Its time to take a leap of faith
    Bb*    Ebii
So here I go

Chorus:

Ebii		Bb		 C			Ab	  Bb	   Ebii
I'm diving in, I'm going deep in over my head, I want to be
		     Bb		  C			  Ab	    Bb	Ebii
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head, I want to go
		   Bb			C			Ab	Bb	B*
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
		Db*		    Ebii
So sink or swim, I'm diving in

Verse 2, same chords as verse 1

After chorus, Acousitc solo:
(lots of muting, lots of attack, lots of sneaky fills)

	v v   left hand muting               v v  v ^  v
