[Verse]
  Bb     Eb            Bb               
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Dbmaj7                               Ab   
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
          Eb                           Bb         
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
               Db      Dbmaj7 Db           Ab  
But he doesn't realize he     hurts her so much
Eb  Bb      Eb                 Bb            
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
                Db                           Ab     
'cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
           Eb                                  Bb             
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he know how
Db           Dbmaj7 Db          Fm7   
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Ab          
Listen to me


[Chorus]
Eb               Bb        
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    Dbmaj7                           Ab     
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   Eb    Bb      Eb          Bb            
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                   Db     Dbmaj7   Ab
But I think you're moving too fast ■ 


[Verse]
Eb Ebmaj7 Bb                     Fm       
■  Little precious has a natural obsession
    Db         Dbmaj7            Ab 
For temptation but he just can't see
Eb  Bb                                        
She give him loving that his body can't handle

But all he can say is Baby it's good to me
                            Bb                   
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
       Dbmaj7  Db                Ab  
But he doesn't recognize his own face
Eb                             Bb              
■  His health is fading and he doesn't know why
              Dbmaj7                Eb           
Three letters took him to his final resting place
Ab                 
Y'all don't hear me


[Chorus]

[Verse]
Eb       Fsus4            
I seen a rainbow yesterday
             Bb                       
But too many storms have come and gone
                          Fm7         
Leavin' a trace of not on Godgiven ray
      Fm7                                  
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
       Ab               
I pray all ten fade away
       Ab                           
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
Eb       Bb7            Eb  
And like his promise is true
        Eb            
Only my faith can undo
Bb                     
The many chances I blew
                         Fm7 
Will it bring my life to anew
Fm                                
Clear blue and unconditional skies
           Fm7                   
Have dried the tears from my eyes
   Fm7              
No more lonely cries
   Eb                                               
My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
          Bb              
Wit' such an endurin' pain
        Bb                           
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Dbmaj7                                          
Who's to blame for tootin' cane in your own vein
Ab          
What a shame
          Ab                              
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
Eb                                            
You claim the insane and name this day in time
                 Bb      
For fallin' prey to crime
                                            Bb  
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dbmaj7                         
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
            Dbmaj7     
In hopes of comin' true
Dbmaj7             
Believe in yourself
                         Eb 
The rest is up to me and you


[Chorus]
                 Bb        
Don't go chasing waterfalls
                    Db                               Ab     
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                   Eb                        Bb            
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
                   Dbmaj7         
But I think you're moving too fast
Ab7                            
■   Don't go chasing waterfalls
Eb                                 Bb                       
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
                         Db                  Ab            
I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all
            Eb                     Db
But I think you're moving too fast ■
