Down River


[Intro]

D G D G

[Verse 1]
D     G      
Finally
        D         G
We have seen some things
     Bm     A
Some awfully nice
     C#m        Em
Some dreadfully bad

D           G      
But we will sing
        D               G
Wash the blood, off our knees
      Bm      A
Cause our love breaks
        C#m         Em
Through rough seas, our ship will sail it

[Pre-Chorus]
D          G      
I, don't, understand
    D               G
How this world will work
      Bm               A
Cause time will tell us nothing
     C#m               Em
I'll take a chance on something

[Chorus]
D       D      D      D (muted)
feeling old, feelings this time take you
Bm         Bm
Down river, down river
A          A
Down river, down…
D       D      D      D (muted)
walk these stairs, put the pieces back together
Bm             Bm
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
A              G
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
Now go..

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D     G      
Finally
        D         G
We have seen some things
    Bm           A
But bells in your hallways
      C#m             Em
Don't move you in the right place

   D       G      
So we will sing
         D            G
Cast our hopes out to sea
       Bm       A
Though our hears break
         C#m                   Em
Through violent winds, our ship will sail it

[Pre-Chorus]
D          G      
I, don't, understand
    D               G
How this world will work
      Bm               A
Cause time will tell us nothing
     C#m               Em
I'll take a chance on something

[Chorus]
D       D      D      D (muted)
feeling old, feelings this time take you
Bm         Bm
Down river, down river
A          A
Down river, down…
D       D      D      D (muted)
walk these stairs, put the pieces back together
Bm             Bm
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
A              G
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
Now go..

[Outro]

D              G
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
D              G
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
Bm             A
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
C#m            Em7
Go, don't stop, go, don't stop
