The River

A7


[Verse 1]

          A
Well come on, you weak of knees
       A7               Asus/F#
Afraid of the thought police
         Fmaj7                    A
You who say our generation is forsaken
         A
Get out of your clouds of weed
        A7              Asus/F#
Get out of your time machines
         Fmaj7                    A
You can say that the sleeper has awakened


[Chorus]

G G/F# G G/F#
 A                        G G/F# G G/F#
   You gotta scream and shout
 D
   If you're gonna work this out
 F
   Change comes when the water falls
              D
I've been waiting so long for you down by the river

A7

[Verse 2]

          A
Well the walls are closing in
           A7                Asus/F#
And your head's in constant spin
         Fmaj7                       A7
And the pain in your eyes I do comprehend

          A
Don't believe celebrities
A7                Asus/F#
The money-suckin MPs
      Fmaj7                         A A7
The device in your hands, imitation beauty


[Chorus]

G G/F# G G/F#
 A                        G G/F# G G/F#
   You gotta scream and shout
 D
   If you're gonna work this out
 F
   Change comes when the water falls
              D
I've been waiting so long for you down by the river

A A7 Asus/F# Fmaj7  X8


[Bridge]

 A
Lick your lips like a prize fighter
 D/F#
Surely you can take a punch
      F
Your knuckles can't get no whiter
          D/F#
They're gonna you for lunch, boy
        A
So come on


[Outro]

G G/F# G G/F#
 A                        G G/F# G G/F#
   You gotta scream and shout
 D
   If you're gonna work this out
 F
   Change comes when the water falls

              D
I've been waiting so long for you down by the river
