The River Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 1]
Well come [A]on, you weak of knees
Afraid of the thought police
You who [F]say our generation is for[A]saken
Get out of your clouds of weed
Get out of your time machines
You can [F]say that the sleeper has a[A]wakened
[G]

[Chorus 1]
[D][G][D]
[A]You gotta scream and sho[G]ut[D][G][D]
If you're gonna work this [F]out
Change comes when the water falls
I've been [D]waiting so long
for you down by the river
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 2]
Well the [A]walls are closing in
And your head's in constant spin
And the [F]pain in your eyes
I do compre[A]hend
Don't believe celebrities
The money-suckin' MPs
The de[F]vice in your hands, imitation [A]beauty
[G]

[Chorus 2]
[D][G][D]
[A]You gotta scream and sho[G]ut[D][G][D]
If you're gonna work this [F]out
Change comes when the water falls
I've been [D]waiting so long

[Solo 1]
for you down by the river
[A][A][D][D]
[F][F][D][D]
[A]Ah, [D]ah,[F] ah,[D] ah
[A]Ah, [D]ah,[F] ah,[D] ah

[Bridge 1]
[A]Lick your lips like a prize-fighter
[D]Surely you can take a punch
[F]Your knuckles can't get no whiter
[D]They're gonna eat you for lunch boy
So come [A]on
[G]

[Chorus 3]
[D][G][D]
[A]You gotta scream and sho[G]ut[D][G][D]
If you're gonna work this [F]out
Change comes when the water falls
I've been [D]waiting for you
to come down by the river
