River Chords

Capo 1 (Original key of recording)
 
[Intro]
Em  G  Cadd9  (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                    G               Cadd9
Some days I can't say why I'm feeling lonely
Em                 G                Cadd9
Some days I am too proud to ask for help
      Em                  G
And I stumble through the noise
Cadd9
Trying to find some peace
  Am7             Em7           D
A stranger in the crowd, I lose myself
 
 
[Chorus]
           Cadd9       G
So, I walk down to the river
          Cadd9                G
Where the troubles, they can't find me
        Cadd9          Em
Let the waters there remind me
               D              Bm
The sun will be there when we wake
 
       Cadd9       G
I walk down to the river
         Cadd9          G
Though I might not understand it
         Cadd9        Em
It's not always as we planned it
             D               Bm
But we grow stronger when we break
         ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
So, I walk down - to the river
     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                    G          Cadd9
This raging world can get so overwhelming
Em            G               Cadd9
Looking for a meaning when it won't make sense
      Em               G
In my head its getting loud
       Cadd9
Like i can't outrun this cloud
   Am7             Em7             D
No matter where i go well there i am
 
 
[Chorus]
           Cadd9       G
So, I walk down to the river
          Cadd9                G
Where the troubles, they can't find me
        Cadd9          Em
Let the waters there remind me
               D              Bm
The sun will be there when we wake
 
       Cadd9       G
I walk down to the river
         Cadd9          G
Though I might not understand it
         Cadd9        Em
It's not always as we planned it
             D               Bm
But we grow stronger when we break
         ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
So, I walk down - to the river
     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river
 
 
[Bridge]
        Dm
Let the calm pull me under
Am7
Far beyond the thunder
C                      G  D
Tell me it will all be ok
        Dm
Let the waves take all my worries
Am7
Conquer them with fury
        C        G       D
Give me shelter, be my escape
 
 
[Chorus]

           Cadd9       G
So, I walk down to the river
          Cadd9                G
Where the troubles, they can't find me
        Cadd9          Em
Let the waters there remind me

It's not always as we planned it
             D               Bm
But we grow stronger when we break
         ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
So, I walk down - to the river
     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D
I walk down - to the river
 
 
     ( Em Cadd9 )    G   D

I walk down - to the river (to the river)
( Em (D) Cadd9 )      G   D
              to the river
     ( Em Cadd9 ) G           D

To the river oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh (hold)
