The River and The Road - Diamond

      Diamond - The River and The Road


What I was told from Andrew, lead singer/guitarist from The River and the Road.

"simplest way for me to describe the chords is like this;
Drop D tuning, the same three chord progression throughout the song.
Start with a D major shape,
then move your middle finger to
the 3rd fret of the D string,
then third fret on the A string (C over D I suppose it is).
then slide from 2nd to 4th fret on the dropped string for the motif"

D      D/G        Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Let me out in the city

      D              D/G   Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
I can fend for myself

   D       D/G         Dm/F      Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
It sure is fast and it aint that pretty

      D             D/G   Dm/F    Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
But I chose my own hell

D      D/G      Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Get me high and get me by

             D                  D/G   Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Cause if the change isn’t enough

       D        D/G                Dm/F      Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Let me see what you’ve got to offer

                D              D/G   Dm/F  Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Let me see your diamond in the rough                            x4



    D       D/G    Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
I’m digging my own grave

          D            D/G   Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Won’t you lend me your shovel

    D           D/G           Dm/F        Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
The streets are bare; but the streets are made

             D               D/G   Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Once you get above the rubble

D       D/G     Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Come at last my oldest friend

     D        D/G    Dm/F       Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
I'll hold you dear until the end

     D        D/G  Dm/F      Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
I’ll hold you dear shackled, With my heart against the wall

     D        D/G  Dm/F      Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
I’ll hold you dear shackled, With my heart against the wall



D      D/G      Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Get me high and get me by

             D                  D/G   Dm/F   Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Cause if the change isn’t enough

       D        D/G                Dm/F      Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Let me see what you’ve got to offer


                D              D/G   Dm/F  Cadd9 / Dadd9 \ Cadd9
Let me see your diamond in the rough                            x4

Let me see...
