Biography:
The Walkabouts was an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1984 by Chris Eckman and Carla Torgerson. Other members have been Michael Wells, Glenn Slater and Terri Moeller. The Walkabouts disbanded in 2015.
Although the Walkabouts started in Seattle, US their main base of popularity was Europe. Their blend of folk idioms and noisy experimental rock has won them lots of devoted fans; however, even with twelve studio albums and another 15 EPs, live albums and compilations released, they still remain below the radar of the public at large.

Am G Dm
Down here everyone says that the River People don't really belong here.
Dl Am G Dm
I know what it's like to be a stranger and divide a town beside a frontier.
G Dm
People want your business and little more
Am G Dm
I've watched shadows lengthen from a closed door.
Dm Am G
Dm
Mountains wide, nothing is clearer to the River People than what the others try and hide.
Dm Am G
Dm
You spoke, pushed your chair back at the meeting and I could tell that you were petrified.
G Dm
You said the best people can suddenly oppose
Am G Dm
The sight of good will and then it arose.
G Dm
Two people, four people crossed the floor
Am G Dm
I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar
Dm Am G Dm
Dm Am G Dm
Dm [STOP] Am G Dm
Around here your stranded face before the moonlight, the color of the sea.
Dm [STOP] Am G Dm
You came up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea.
G Dm
The sky had opened, it had gone bust
Am G Dm
You and I watched the River People swim before us
G Dm
The sky had opened, it had gone bust
Am G Dm
You and I watched the river people swim before us
Dm Am G Dm
Dm Am G Dm
G Dm
You said the best people can suddenly oppose
Am G Dm
The sight of good will and then it arose.
G Dm
Two people, four people crossed the floor
Am G Dm
I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar
Dm
Down here . . . Am G Dm
Dm
You came . . . Am G Am G Dm Am Dm
