I see double                 up ahead 

          Am        A                  F
Where the riverboat swayed beneath the sun 

             A          Em(alt)  E   C(alt)   E
Is where the river runs red

E string:  0  3  5  (x4)     -     A string:  0  3  5  (x4)

I see trouble, up ahead
Where the river boat swayed beneath the sun is where the river runs red 
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove 
And frees an eagle instead

It's more or less the same as the things that you said 

Back to Rif

I see trouble up the road 
Like the things you found in love are by the way 
And like to cheat on your soul 
Like the best and worst of thoughts that lose control 
Before you lie on your bed

It's more or less the things you fail to say in your way that's your trouble 
Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars 
And his double
